It is not a lot of fun to those kids but we have to make it fun. That is my biggest issue is getting the kids out and keeping those kids out.”
New Brockton principal Alonzo Barkley said Barnett checked off all the boxes that he and his search committee were looking for in a coach. Barnett had two strong seasons in 2018-19 to open his tenure at Citronelle, going 6-5 and 7-4 with both teams reaching the first round of the Class 5A state playoffs. The first year featured wins over Wildcat rivals Washington County , Leroy and Satsuma .
An Atmore native, Barnett graduated from Escambia County in 1992 before playing two years of baseball at Alabama Southern then walking on and playing two years of football at Auburn as a wide receiver.“I was a walk-on wide receiver at Auburn and I have always been an offensive guy,” Barnett said. “I played some defense in high school as well, but I was mainly an offensive guy.
