On December 20, 2010, after two disappointing seasons from a town that believes its a Texas town when it comes to high school football, Coach Allison resigned from his coaching position with a good record of 77 and 33--not too shabby. Ozarks First notes the 3-6 season was convincing enough for Allison to step down, but is there something that isn't being told to the public?
Three days after the resignation of Coach Allison, a law suit was filed against Ozark High School and Ozark athletic director Mark Caballero. The law suit involves a minor, and the docket lists both parents names on the Case Net entry. A summons was served to Cabellero on January 4, 2011.
The cause of action appears to be from an alleged violation of civil rights:
| Plaintiffs: | John S and Shannon S |
|---|---|
| Defendants: | Ozark R-VI School District and Mark Caballero |

Update: Dr. Gordon Pace responded in an e-mail that he is not at liberty to discuss this case, but says it has nothing to do with the resignation of the Ozark High School football coach.
