Shawn Ratliff- Head Coach

I believe coaching is about more than just wins and losses, it's about shaping young athletes into strong, confident individuals. Sports played a major role in my own development, and I coach to pay that forward. The coaches who challenged me helped me become the person I am today, and I aim to do the same for my players.

My core values as a coach are discipline, teamwork, accountability, and confidence. I want my players to walk away from each season with those values ingrained, not just for football, but for life.

I run practices and games with high energy and expect hustle and discipline at all times. Mistakes will happen, but they’re not the end, they’re a chance to learn, correct, and improve. One of my favorite things a coach ever told me was:

 “I don’t care if you make a mistake, as long as you make it at 100%.”

 That mindset is something I’ve carried with me, and it’s something I want to instill in every player I coach.

Justin Sears - Assistant Coach

I’m Coach Sears, and football has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I played Running Back in high school and was honored to be named Single A Player of the Year before graduating. That recognition opened the door for me to attend Glenville on a football scholarship. Unfortunately, due to injuries I had battled over the years, I made the tough decision to step away from playing the game and transferred to West Virginia University to focus on my education and find new ways to stay connected to the sport I love.

Now, as a coach, I bring that same passion and understanding to the field. I know firsthand the dedication, discipline, and heart it takes to succeed in this game—and I strive to pass that on to every player I work with. My goal is to help young athletes grow not just as players, but as individuals. I focus on building strong fundamentals, football IQ, and character, while always being someone they can turn to for guidance and support.
