The football team wasted no time adjusting to the new leadership, starting their Spring practice on the same day as the announcement. Players and coaching staff alike are eager to embrace the changes and build a winning team under Cole’s guidance.

Looking Forward

As he steps into his new role, Coach Cole is focused on laying the groundwork for a strong season ahead. He plans to instill discipline, teamwork, and resilience in his players, hoping to foster a supportive and competitive environment on the field.

The Chapin Eagles have a dedicated fan base, and with the shift in coaching, there is a renewed energy as the community rallies behind their team. Parents, students, and alumni anticipate an exciting season filled with potential and progress as they look forward to seeing how Cole’s vision unfolds.

As the team gears up for the upcoming season, players are expected to adapt to a new style of training and play, reflecting Coach Cole’s philosophy. With Spring practice now underway, both the team and fans are eager for what lies ahead in this new era for Chapin High School football.
