Dec. 29—Hanceville has chosen Levi Estes to lead its football program.
Principal Daniel Wakefield confirmed the hire, which became official on Friday.
Estes, 32, has spent the past three seasons at Oak Mountain, where he served as associate head coach, strength and conditioning coordinator, and run game coordinator for the Class 7A Eagles.
Now, he’s excited to return to the sideline as a head coach.

Before getting into coaching, Estes played college football at Bethel University, earning two conference titles as an offensive lineman.
He later became the defensive coordinator at Dresden High School in Tennessee, where he helped the program win a state championship in 2016 — the unit allowed just 161 points all season en route to finishing 15-0 — before getting promoted to head coach prior to the 2017 campaign.
Estes earned a 15-7 record and won a region title in two seasons before accepting a job as offensive coordinator for Lassiter High School in Georgia, where he assisted for two campaigns before heading to Oak Mountain.
“When I was in Tennessee, I was under a couple of really good coaches and I learned a tremendous amount,” Estes said. “Winning a state championship with a younger coach gave me the want-to to go be a head coach after seeing what success looked like. At the bigger schools like Lassiter and Oak Mountain,…
