DONNELLSON - Central Lee Head Coach Chuck Banks is out after three years leading the Hawks program.
Banks compiled a 3-22 record and suffered through a winless first two years that were complicated by the COVID pandemic.
"The district wanted to go in a different direction and I understand that," Banks said.
"I love Central Lee and these kids and wish the best for that program going forward."
Banks is also a teacher in the district and will stay in that position.
The Hawks qualified for the 2A playoffs in 2022, which was one of Banks goals. He made the playoffs as an assistant coach with the Hawks and the Centerville Reds program.
Superintendent Dr. Andy Crozier said Banks has helped position the program for the future.
"Coach Banks took over this program at a really challenging time. He and his staff have worked hard to rebuild this program and put it in a position for future success," Crozier said.
"I appreciate his hard work and leadership these past three years.
Banks said he's not done coaching and will be looking to be on the sidelines somewhere in the area next year.
