COLUMBIA, S.C. — Chapin High School Welcomes New Head Football Coach

Chapin High School has officially welcomed Ryan Cole as its new head football coach, showcasing an exciting new chapter for the Eagles’ football program. The introduction took place on Tuesday afternoon, much to the enthusiasm of players, staff, and fans alike.

Ryan Cole’s Appointment

Cole’s elevation to head coach comes after several successful years in the role of defensive coordinator for the Eagles. He takes over from longtime head coach Justin Gentry, who retired just last week after a commendable tenure leading the team. Cole expressed his excitement about stepping into this role, stating, “I think it’s always been the job for me. I was at a point in my career where actually I thought this opportunity had passed me by.”

A New Season Begins

The Eagles are gearing up for a fresh season, and their spring practice kicked off on the same day as Cole’s introduction. With Cole at the helm, players are looking forward to new strategies and a dynamic game plan as they prepare for the upcoming football season. The atmosphere at the school is charged with optimism and team spirit as they embark on this journey together.

What’s Next for the Eagles

As the Eagles begin their preparations, Cole aims to build on the foundational success already established by Gentry. His knowledge and experience from his years with the team are expected to foster a sense of continuity while also bringing fresh ideas to the football program.

The Chapin community remains enthusiastic about the transition, with hopes that Cole will lead the team to remarkable heights in the near future. As spring practice gets underway, the Eagles are ready to put their best foot forward under their new head coach.
