Former YSU kicker hired as Sebring High football coach

Brian Palmer is well aware of the struggles Sebring High football has endured over the years

Sebring is the only school in the Mahoning Valley to never make a playoff appearance. In fact, except for a 5-5 finish in 2014, the Trojans haven’t really come close in the 21st century. They have won just 25 games since 2000.

Still, Palmer insists he is unfazed by the past and filled with hope for the future.
