The Shelbyville community mourns the loss of Jackie Cannon who was a football coach at Shelbyville High School from 1960 to 1965 before moving to Troup and coaching from 1966 to 1968.

 

Joe Tom Schillings, also a former Shelbyville ISD coach, reflected on Coach Cannon saying, "Coaching football at Shelbyville and Troup and playing at Stephen F. Austin was such a big part of his life. Coach Cannon was a Dragon and much loved by his players."
