Cameron Porch, who served as Trenton High School’s football coach from 2022 to 2024, has been hired as the next head football coach at Keystone Heights.
“I’m truly excited to be the head coach at Keystone,” Porch said. “I’m from this area (Interlachen) and it’s the closest I’ve been to home.”
Porch replaces Steve Reynolds, who led the Indians to a postseason appearance in his first season (2023), but he finished 8-23 overall, including an 0-10 record in 2025.
Keystone Heights will enter the 2026 season with a 16-game losing streak. The Indians are seeking their first win since a 14-6 victory at home against Dixie County (Cross City) on Sept. 20, 2024.
“Year one is about building the foundation for the future,” Porch said. “I obviously would like to improve from a results standpoint in the first year.”
Although he wasn’t a head coach in 2025, Porch served as the offensive coordinator at Baker County (Glen St. Mary) this past fall.
The Wildcats averaged 18.6 points per game and lost to eventual state champion Raines (Jacksonville), 43-6, in the first round of the FHSAA Class 3A state playoffs.
“I didn’t take a year off, but it was good to take a step back for a year and recharge a little,” Porch said. “I thoroughly enjoyed this past year. We had some of the more memorable and competitive games that I can recall.”
In his final season with the Tigers (5-8) in 2024, Porch led Trenton to a couple of wins in the FHSAA Florida Invitational Tournament (FIT) before a season-ending loss to eventual FIT champion, Dixie County, in the FIT Semifinals.
Following a winless season in his first season at Trenton in 2022 (0-9), Porch won five games in each of his next two seasons.
Porch, who also coached at Bronson from 2012 to 2014, is familiar with Clay County after a head coaching stint at Ridgeview (Orange Park) from 2016 to 2018, where he finished with an 11-19 record.
In addition to his role as head coach of the football team, Porch will help lead a weightlifting program that won three straight Class 1A state titles from 2021 to 2023.
“I will be coaching weightlifting but will let Leavy Alvarez continue to run that, and he’ll do a great job,” Porch said.
Keystone Heights competed in Class 2A-District 5 with Bradford (Starke), Newberry, Palatka and Santa Fe (Alachua) for the past two years. However, the Indians will compete in 2A-District 4 in 2026.
Rival Bradford and Newberry remain in the district, but Trinity Catholic (Ocala) replaces Palatka and Santa Fe in 2026 and 2027.
“I would like to see us do things correctly off the field, get kids out to play, do things the right way in the classroom and really attack the weightroom,” Porch said.
