Belleview Christian hires Darius Oller to help restart football program
Belleview Christian has turned to Darius Oller to restart its football program.
He will take over as coach of the 8-man program which hasn’t played a game since 2013. That season, the Bruins were 0-7. They also fielded a team in 2012.
“We are basically starting the program all over again,” said Belleview Christian athletic director Josh Polson. “It hasn’t been an easy process getting back into it for the next cycle but we are hoping it will be a positive thing for our school and that it will continue past one (two-year) cycle.”
Oller, who is 25, has been coaching youth football since 2011. Most recently, he was coaching in Kentucky.
“Darius’ players have had tremendous success in the classroom and in character development,” Polson said in a statement. “It is his aim to teach players aspects of manhood on and off the field. Darius is exceedingly grateful and looks forward to his opportunity with Belleview Christian High School.
Polson added that the new coach “will apply his passionate effort and knowledge learned from mentors and coaching history to help this program succeed.”
Located in Westminster, Belleview Christian has an enrollment of 63 students. It is slated to play in 8-man’s Central League in 2016-18.
