“After a lot of conversations, we kept coming back to these two candidates being the best fits for the Durant community, Southeastern, our athletic department, and most importantly our student-athletes,” Atterberry said. “We look forward to the impact former SE graduate Shane Fletcher will make after a long successful run as a Texas High School football coach, while Rich McGuire also brings years of head coaching experience from both Oklahoma and Texas. With their experience, relationships, together we are excited about the future of SE football with these two additions.”
McGuire makes the move to Southeastern after eight seasons as the head coach at St. Thomas Catholic HS in Houston, Texas, with his most recent season ending in the TAPPS Division I State Semifinals.
Over his eight seasons, he led the Eagles to a 62-31 record that included seven-straight playoff appearances, including a state runner-up finish in 2023 and four state semifinal appearances.
He has plied his expertise on both sides of the ball over his more than 25 years of coaching experience.
Prior to his head coaching stint at St. Thomas, he spent one season as working with linebackers at Taylor HS in Katy, Texas, which was on the heels of his first stint at St. Thomas as the defensive coordinator from 2012 through 2015.
He has 20-years of experience coaching in the Houston area, with stops at Northbrook HS and Klein Forest HS since moving to the area in 2004.

Fletcher joins the Savage Storm family after three seasons guiding Honey Grove HS where he put together a 31-7 record that included three-straight trips to the playoffs with the Warriors, culminating in a 2024 state semifinal run.
A long-time presence in the Texoma high school football scene, he spent 17 seasons as the head coach at Leonard HS in Leonard, Texas, becoming the winningest coach in school history and guiding the squad to its first playoff appearance in 11 years during the 2009 season. He would proceed to make 11 playoff appearances over the next 13 seasons, reaching the state semifinals once and earning District Coach of the Year honors in 2012 and All-Texomaland Coach of the Year honors in 2013.
Between 2001 and 2005 he would have stops as the offensive line coach at Howe, Leonard, and Bonham, and would start his coaching career at Denison HS in Denison, Texas where he was an assistant from 1996 through 2001.
