Shaun Arntz has joined Destin Middle School as the new head football coach, inheriting a program that finished last season with a 5‑2 record and a playoff appearance.
A Coach With Proven Leadership
Arntz spent nine years at Freeport High, where he served as both head coach and athletic director, guiding his teams to consistent growth and a 5‑2 playoff record.
The Destin Marlins roster includes more than 50 players, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm for the sport and providing depth for competition.
Arntz has emphasized building a strong defensive identity while developing each player’s potential, a philosophy that resonated with the team during his introductory remarks.
The Marlins open the season on August 20 against the Ruckel Rams, with all games scheduled for Thursday evenings, setting a predictable rhythm for players and families alike.
