Lionel Crawford Takes Over At Houston Aldine

Lionel Crawford has been named to replace Bob Jones as the Head Coach at Aldine. Crawford was the head coach last season at North Forest (a first-year program merged from Smiley and Forest Brook) and was the Head Coach at Smiley two years before that. He was also an Aldine assistant from 2000-2005.

North Forest finished the season at 6-4 last season with a first-round Class 4A playoff loss to Beaumont Central. They played in 19-4A with the original coaching staff being divided with six coaches from Smiley and six from Forest Brook.

Jones will be taking the head coaching job at 3A Shepherd.
