Wharton ISD will begin its next football season under fresh leadership as Athletic Director Alvin Dotson II steps down after three years. Dotson, who revitalized the Tigers’ program following two winless seasons, cites family as his reason for leaving. During his tenure, Wharton ended a 22-game losing streak and nearly reached the playoffs last season. Tyler Scott and Magna Green will oversee interim duties. The district is accepting applications for a new Athletic Director until March 6, with plans to make a hire by April.
