MATT AUTREY RS Freshman Center
Mikey Autrey has been around the coaching block.
Although coaching for 33 years, he is especially looking forward to his second time around at Opelousas High School.
Autrey was named the head football coach and athletic director at the school this year, but it is not his first go-around with the Tigers. It is here, however, that he plans on finishing out his coaching career. This is where he calls life, "home."
