The Doghouse welcomes Coach Jim May, who brings fresh energy and a clear vision to Sikeston football after 15 successful years at Scott City. What started as an unexpected career move has become a passionate mission to restore Bulldog football to greatness.

Coach May reveals the remarkable transformation happening in the weight room, where his players have improved from 5 bench presses at a lineman competition to 58 in just one year. This physical development mirrors the mental shift taking place as players begin believing in themselves and their potential. With legendary Coach Charlie Vickery back on the sidelines contributing over 50 years of coaching experience, there's a palpable sense that something special is building.

At the heart of May's philosophy is an up-tempo offense designed to keep defenses vanilla and a simplified defensive approach that allows players to compete with confidence rather than hesitation. "Winners win because they believe they're going to win, and losers lose because they believe they're going to lose," May explains, emphasizing that mentality shift is as crucial as physical preparation. His assembled coaching staff of nine dedicated "football guys" provides the expertise and energy needed to build a complete program.

The unique relationship between Sikeston's community and its football team emerges as a powerful theme throughout the conversation. May marvels at the extraordinary support from a town where athletics and identity are deeply intertwined. "I want it to be something the community can be proud of," he says, describing his vision of bringing back the Bulldogs' proud tradition with red helmets and a physical style that honors the program's history.
