Christopher Lacey promoted to VHS defensive coordinator

Christopher Lacey, Vicksburg Junior High School defensive coordinator, has been promoted to defensive coordinator at Vicksburg High School for the upcoming 2020 season.

Lacey announced his promotion yesterday on a Facebook post.

“Excited and blessed to be promoted to defensive coordinator at Vicksburg High School,” he wrote.

Last season at VJHS, Lacey was a big part of the team’s success as they finished with a perfect 8-0 record. Lacey led a defense known for stopping the opposing team’s offense and not giving up a lot of points in any ball game.

VJHS head coach Larry Carter Jr put his trust in Lacey to help lead the team, which brought home a Little Six Championship last season.

At Vicksburg High, Lacey will be working under first-year head coach Todd McDaniel who plans on helping the Gators reach their full potential.

Lacey is a graduate of Warren Central High School and a 2009 graduate of Mississippi College where he helped the Choctaws win the American Southwest Conference championship his senior year.
