Doherty assistant Dwight Hale tabbed as new football coach

Doherty assistant coach and defensive coordinator Dwight Hale has been named the new head coach for the Spartans.

Hale takes over for Jeff Krumlauf, who resigned last month with intentions to move to Vail.

The hiring of Hale gives Doherty some consistency in the position. In all five of Krumlauf’s seasons Hale has been on staff as an assistant which will everyone — including Krumlauf — believes will make for a smooth transition.

The Spartans went 5-6 in 2018 but scored an upset win over ThunderRidge (who was ranked in the 10) on Sept. 21.
