For a while it was questionable whether or not DeSoto Parish, along with other Louisiana high schools, would be able to have a football season due to COVID-19. That didn’t stop the North DeSoto Griffins Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Dennis Dunn for preparing and practicing his team with the goal of making the Louisiana State Finals.

Hard as his guys worked to become the mighty Griffin football team, Dunn had a dilemma that he had to face and solve. His kicker from last year’s team quit and he didn’t have a replacement on the current roster. He was only at his second year at North DeSoto, but he was aware of the school’s successful, award winning girl’s soccer program.

Dunn contacted the soccer team’s coach that is no longer at NDHS. He asked her if she had anyone that she thought could help the team out and she called the name Aubrey Kuntz without hesitation.

The students and staff of Logansport High School welcome Coach Stephen Burch to the Tiger family. He has been a successful coach for many years and will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the LHS basketball program.
