Topsail High School will have a new head football coach in 2025. Previous head coach Jack Teachey is returning to the college coaching ranks.
On Tuesday, Texas Tech University announced that it has hired Teachey as a senior defensive analyst. He will serve under new defensive coordinator Shiel Wood, who he coached and coached with at Wofford College.
From 1994-2014, Teachey worked multiple coaching roles at Wofford and ultimately became the defensive coordinator of the Terriers.
He arrived at Topsail in 2014 and was an assistant coach in difference capacities before becoming the head coach in 2022.
Teachey is an alum of Cherryville High School and East Tennessee State University, where he played as a college student.
Topsail finished with overall records of 5-6, 4-6, and 4-6. The Pirates made the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A East playoffs in 2022.
With an average daily membership of 2,010 students this school year, Topsail is set to become a 7A school after the NCHSAA realigns into eight classifications later this year.
In the initial conference plans released by the NCHSAA, Topsail was placed in a 6A/7A/8A conference with 6A West Brunswick, fellow 7As Ashley, New Hanover, and North Brunswick, and 8As Hoggard and Laney. The conferences are subject to change following the appeals period.
