Just a year after one of the more notable turnarounds in the state, Aurora Central was forced to find a new football coach.

Jamarr Kerney is the man who will fill the void, athletic director Dan Lliteras confirmed to CHSAANow.com via email.

Former coach Travis Peeples resigned this offseason.

Lliteras didn’t need to look far as Kerney has been on the Trojans coaching staff for the last four seasons and proved to be the ideal candidate to continue the upward trend of the team.

Aurora Central finished 8-3 last season, a remarkable turnaround from the 2-8 season it had in 2014.

“We are looking to keep moving forward with the continued rebuilding of our football program,” Liters said in an email. “Jamarr will greatly contribute to aiding us with this process. We will continue to challenge and develop our kids and the program.”

Kearney’s hire has been reflected in the CHSAANow database of football coaching changes from this offseason.
