MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (WBTW) – St. James announced on Tuesday that Joey Price has been hired as the Sharks new football coach.

Price has 20 years of coaching experience, with an overall record of 238-42. He has never had a losing season. His most recent coaching job was at Wallace Rose-Hill in North Carolina. He led the team to a 15-1 record last year.
