“I’ve got three sons and I’m fired up to bring them to Scurry-Rosser," Caffey said. "the commitment to academics and athletics they’ve made is first class and they want to be championship in all sports, boys and girls. Yorktown is a great community that loves their kids, I’m a coaches kid, so I’ve never lived anywhere as long as I’ve lived in Yorktown, this place will always be special to us."

Coach Caffey led Yorktown for six seasons posting a solid 45-34 overall record, three times he led Yorktown to the area playoffs in 2015, 2016 and 2021.

His his brother is also a current head coach as Jeff Caffey currently serves as head football coach at Shamrock.
