    By WILLIAM SNOWDEN Staff Report

    Kevin Pettis, who was recently fired as head football coach at Chiles High School may join the coaching staff of the Wakulla War Eagles under head coach Scott Klees.
    Superintendent of Schools Bobby Pearce noted that Pettis was offered a teaching and coaching position at Wakulla High School, but he reportedly turned the teaching position down to stay with Leon County Schools. He may still join coaches next month if cleared of all open investigations.
    Pettis was let go as coach at Chiles in June after an investigation into alleged violations of athletic policies.
    Pettis’ son, Trey, was also on Chiles coaching staff and voluntarily stepped down.Trey Pettis is being hired as a parapro at Wakulla Institute and will join the staff as a War Eagle coach.
