Thomas has been a part of the Bulldog
football team since 1999, and he assumed the head coaching position
in the 2014 season. The Bulldogs went 4-27 over Thomas' three seasons as head coach.
While he still stresses his love for these
players and the team, Thomas said he feels like he can better serve the program
in other capacities.
“I love these kids. I have been with some of them since 6th grade, and I am still going to be with them,” says Thomas.
Thomas serves as the community education coordinator for FIS and has served as the coach for the track team that was reinstated two years ago.
“Anyone who knows Coach Mike knows that he loves these kids, and he has poured a great deal of energy and passion into the program,” states FIS principal R.B. Mays. “He is a valuable part of our staff and our connection with our community, and we are glad that he will still be a part of our staff, investing in our kids.”
