Sean Rhone enters his fourth season as the volunteer assistant coach for the Northwest men’s soccer program, as part of two separate stints.
Rhone previously served as the Rangers’ volunteer assistant coach for the 2021 fall season, the final year of former coach Mark Hogan’s tenure. During that season, the Rangers made the MACCC Playoffs for the first time since 2016, falling in the quarterfinal round at Mississippi Gulf Coast.
More recently, Rhone returned to the sidelines in 2023, helping Sullivan to a four-win campaign that included the most conference victories since the 2021 fall season. The Rangers matched their win total in 2024, once again remaining in postseason contention until the final week of the regular season.
Additionally, Rhone and Sullivan have helped develop seven future four-year signees, including the trio of Ethan Barnes, Gunner Pitt and Josh Zuniga (MUW), Gabriel Burton (Talladega College), Rodrigo Bandeira (Quincy
University), Ryan Ores (Greenville University) and Baker Hall (Eureka College).
Soccer runs through the Rhone family, as his children Casey, Dodger and Koby have all played the sport at the collegiate level. Casey played for the women’s soccer program at Holmes Community College from 2017-18, while Dodger and Koby have each played for Northwest and Belhaven University. Koby later went on to play at Belhaven University following his time with the Rangers.
Rhone has also coached for Senatobia High School for the past several seasons. His wife, Chantay, is currently a member of the Senatobia Fire Department.
