    Kwame Dixon has resigned as head football coach at West Johnston High School, The Herald confirmed through two sources today.
    Dixon was 11-23 as the Wildcats' leader in four seasons, going 7-5 in 2007 and leading West to its first ever state playoff appearance and a second place finish in the Greater Neuse River 4-A Conference.
    Neither Dixon nor school officials were immediately available for comment.
    Eric Pulley has been named interim head coach for West.
    We'll provide further updates once more information becomes available.

    I am. I thought west had done pretty good this past yr, better than previous yrs. But I don't know anything about 'him'. Is it a good thing that he's gone?

    That's a loss for Clayton - he's a good coach.

    Coach Jones is not only an excellent coach - but a wonderful teacher as well! My son was in his class for 2 semesters and really enjoyed the class. Some type of computer stuff! Anyway - CHS' loss and WJHS gain! Best of luck to Coach Jones and the Wildcats!

    while i don't have a kid at west or anything, i have had a chance to meet kwame dixon on a couple of occasions, and find him and his family to be very impressive, both individually and as a unit. he's a very intelligent, motivated, charismatic and powerful presence, imho. i hope he does well in the future

    I agree - thats why I wonder why he left? I hope it was his decision and not the schools...

    Coach D sent a real nice note to the band last fall. West's Band has been doing a bang-up job of getting the crowd into the game and that kind of energy helps the players stay motivated. I think Coach realized that's part of the 'home team advantage'. The band really appreciated his acknowlegement...
    He's a good guy...hate to see him go.
