Plainview has hired Cold Springs boys basketball coach Cade Willingham to the same position. 

Willingham, who spent one season with the Eagles, confirmed the return to his alma mater in a text message to The Times on Thursday. 

A three-year starter at Plainview, Willingham helped guide the Bears to a Class 3A state crown (2018) under former coach Robi Coker. 

Cold Springs, which won six games last season, will attempt to fill the void as soon as possible.
