WARRIOR COACHING STAFF

MARK FRASIER Head Coach Mark Frasier is a native of White County and played football throughout his youth. He played for WCHS from 1989 to1992 where he won multiple season All-District, All Mid-State honors, was team captain and team MVP. He walked on at the University of Tennessee as a free safety coached by Lovie Smith. In 1994, he played free safety for Carson Newman under head coach Ken Sparks who was 5th all-time in collegiate wins.

After college, Frasier coached at WCHS under Jeff Arnette, and then was hired by Oconee County High School in Watkinsville, Georgia to coach defensive secondary, and later became defensive coordinator. His record at Oconee was 35-5 with one state title and three region championships. He was named Assistant Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2001 by the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association. Frasier also met his wife in Georgia, and decided to move back to his hometown of Sparta--returning to Warrior football several times as a volunteer under both Malone and Houser. In 2018, he led WCMS to the CTC conference championship game for the first time since 2014.

Coach Frasier states, “There’s no other coaching job I would consider at this point in my life than coaching for my alma mater. This is my home, football is my passion, and I am eager to see these students grow as players and teammates. I’ve been blessed to work with so many amazing coaches and players over the years and I hope to be able to give back to my community what I’ve learned through my experiences. I hope that when these kids look back, they remember their football years in Sparta with the fondness that I do.”

Coach Frasier and his wife Tricia have two children; Bray, a freshman at WCHS and Anna Kate, an 8th grader at WCMS.

GREGG SEGRAVES Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach Segraves graduated from Lewis Cass High School in Walton, Indiana and was a three-sport athlete. After graduating college, he coached in Georgia for 30 years. After retiring, he chose to make Sparta home with his wife Tasha and daughter, Dreu, who will begin Woodland Park as a first grader this fall. Coach Segraves has been offensive, defensive, and special teams coordinator and a head coach through the years. His head coaching record was 50-25 and he was awarded region coach of the year while in Hart County, Georgia.

“My biggest joy in teaching and coaching is to see or be a part of the success of these young men in their future endeavors. It’s a joy to see kids go off to college and have success at the next level in a sport and equally moving to see them become great husbands and fathers. I’ve been fortunate to continue to communicate with several former players and that is rewarding!”

CURTIS BEATY DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR Coach Beaty began coaching for the Warriors in June, 2017. He has also coached for Livingston Academy where he won district championships in both 2012 and 2014, and was district runner up in 2015. In 2014, he was awarded district 8AA Defensive Coach of the Year. He is the physical education teacher at WCHS. As a player, Coach Beaty won the 2005 State AAA football title at Livingston Academy. Also, in 2005 he was honored with 1st Team All-Region.

“A great friend and coach of mine told me when I was 20 years old, ‘Curtis, football has given you a lot in life, you need to give some back.’

That’s when I really dove into the coaching world. I love football because I believe it is one of the only things that teaches boys how to be men through love, hard work, teamwork, adversity, and dedication along with other important lessons.”

Coach Beaty’s wife Aria owns her own salon in Livingston. She and their niece Marley Shea never miss a game!

STEVE WILSON WIDE RECEIVERS Coach Steve Wilson was born in Chattanooga, but lived in various states growing up while his dad served in the Marine Corps. His family moved to White County when he was an eighth grader and he graduated from White County High School in 1986. He played baseball at Cumberland University and is currently an assistant principal at White County Middle school. Coach Wilson has coached football in Sparta for more than 20 years at the middle and high school levels and coached high school baseball for 13 years.

His coaching and teaching philosophy is that “players and students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

Coach Wilson’s wife, Brenda, graduated from White County High where she was a varsity cheerleader and tennis player. She is currently a professor of journalism at Tennessee Tech and chair of the communication department. They have one daughter Megan, who also graduated from WCHS and is currently a junior at the University of Tennessee majoring in microbiology.

JASON HARRIS RUNNING BACKS Coach Jason Harris was born in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. At Chelmsford High School he holds the conference record for the 50 yard dash while his track team went on to win two state titles. His high school football team went 37-4 with an 11-0 senior year and a state title. With an accepted offer to attend Lehigh University in PA, he majored in mechanical engineering and played running back. After his freshman year he transferred back home to the University of Massachusetts and went on to be a 3 year starter and received his Bachelor of Science in physics/radiological science.

Coach Harris, his wife, Jennifer and their two children, Ariana and Tyrone, moved to Sparta in 2014 and he is in his second year coaching at WCHS. Coach Harris states, “ I just plain love the game and want to pass done my experience and knowledge to the kids of White County.”

He is married to his high school sweetheart, Julia, who was a 1993 WCHS graduate and is the person behind the camera lense rain, sleet, snow or shine!

Coach JJ has always been passionate about football and it shows though the relationships he’s developed with young people in this community. “I loved playing the game of football for many of the same reasons I love coaching it--discipline, comradery, and the devotion it takes to develop the brotherhood. I want the kids I coach to love the game the way I did. I also want them to be able to apply all these lessons in the game of life and to have memories that will last a lifetime.”

11

MICHAEL SLONE OFFENSIVE LINE Coach Mike Slone graduated in 1998 from Hamlin High School in West Virginia. He played football under Coach John Shimp and also played baseball. He moved to Sparta in 2000 and met his wife, Christy (a WCHS graduate), and they have two children, Hunter -a sophomore at WCHS and Emma, an eighth grader at WCMS. Coach Slone coached youth football in Sparta from 2009-2017, then moved on to WCMS where he was the offensive coordinator that led the Warriors to the CTC conference game in 2018.

“My goal is to teach these boys football and to also help them to grow into respectful men. The foundations of brotherhood, commitment, discipline and hard work are what molds boys into leaders. My philosophy is God first, then family, school, THEN football.”

JORDAN BAILEY LINEBACKERS Coach Bailey began his journey coaching at WCHS in 2018. He found a love for football at a young age and started playing in 1998 for the Overton County Outlaws and went on to play during middle school.

He graduated from Livingston Academy in 2007 and is currently working for his family owned business, Charles Bailey Trucking as a dispatcher.

As they are new residents of Sparta, they have loved being a part of our community and are looking forward to serving White County for years to come.

Cary is a HUGE LSU fan. On any given Saturday, you can find him wearing purple and gold as he cheers for his Tigers. But on Friday nights, he is looking forward to wearing maroon in seeing the Warriors build a new legacy of excellence for our football program.

Most exciting moment so far in sports: Being there for my brothers on the field.

One thing I have never been able to do, but always wanted to: meet my grandparents on my dads side.

Favorite Food: Grandmas cooking Food my mom made me eat but I hated: steamed broccoli Favorite TV Show: Street Outlaws Favorite Musical Artist: 2pac The first thing I would buy after winning the lottery: An Island.

Pregame Ritual: Listen to hyped up music.
