A Kansas high school football team is parting ways with their first-year head coach after an impressive 5-1 start.

According to a report by the Linn County Journal, the Prairie View USD 362 Board of Education held a unique meeting on this past Monday, voting unanimously to terminate all contracts had with Prairie View head football coach Jason Spradling effective immediately.

Spradling was in his first season as the Buffalos head coach after serving as the program’s offensive coordinator in 2024 and taking over for Kyle Littrell, who retired after last season, found success leading Prairie View on the field.

The report stated that Spradling was suspended from his duties, which also includes being the school’s weight-room instructor, on Oct. 9. Though the report confirmed Spradling’s suspension from Prairie View Superintendent Chris Johnson, the board did not reveal exactly why Spradling was being removed and having his contracts terminated.

Prairie View had their first game without Spradling at the helm when the Buffalos took on Anderson County, winning handily 49-8 under the watch of interim head coach Joe Cullor. The Buffalos have been solid on offense, averaging 47.6 points per game and team is currently riding a four-game winning streak.

This week Prairie View goes on the road to face off against Girard to attempt making it five in a row.
