Justin Ellis is now a Bobcat! "My name is Justin Ellis and I’m from Marked Tree, Arkansas. I’m the new Offensive Coordinator and Head Track & Field Coach, and I will be teaching high school PE. This will be my 5th year coaching high school football. I spent my last 2 years with the traditional powerhouse Rivercrest High School football program. I have nothing but love and praise for all the coaches, and all the players I’ve coached there. I’m a huge Arkansas Razorback, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Dallas Cowboys fan. My favorite Razorback football game I’ve ever been to was the Texas game in 2021, and my favorite basketball game was Kentucky @ home in 2022. My favorite Thunder game is in the picture, which was my first home game in Oklahoma City for game 1 of the NBA Finals. I’m also pretty big into the UFC, fishing, and I’m looking to pick up golf. In my spare time, I enjoy watching my favorite teams play, various leisure activities, and spending time with my girlfriend, friends, and family. I’m extremely excited and blessed to be apart of the Berryville family, and looking forward to contributing to a successful season. Go Bobcats! "
