Booker High School announced that Scottie Littles will lead the Tornadoes football program as head coach. Littles returns to Booker High School, where he has twice served as assistant coach, after a stint as head football coach at Palm Beach Central in Wellington, Florida. In the three seasons he coached the Palm Beach Broncos, Littles secured a 22-5 overall record and the team won two district titles. His priorities in Sarasota will be meeting the athletes and their families, restructuring the off-season program, creating an open-door policy of feedback, and helping student athletes create memories.

Littles will officially begin on Tuesday, Feb. 22. He’ll spend the first few months getting to know the athletes and their families, as well as work on becoming a leader on campus.
