BILL McKEE NAMED NEW

JR. TROJAN HEAD COACH

The Center Grove Bantam Football League is proud to announce the new head coach of the Jr. Trojans.� Bill McKee was offered and has accepted this new position, beginning immediately.� Steve Hostetler recently resigned after three years as Jr. Trojan head coach, leaving behind a successful record including back to back state championships in 2003 and 2004 and an impressive 7-3 record in 2005.

Considering the importance of this vacancy, the bantam football board decided to establish an external committee, led by the CGBFL president, to search for a new head coach.� The committee consisted of Coach Eric Moore, Center Grove Varsity Head Coach, Tony Sykes, former CGBFL Vice President and Jr. Trojan coach, and Keith Adams, former CGBFL President and Jr. Trojan Head Coach.

The committee started with a list of 10 potential candidates and after telephone screens, narrowed the list down to 5 candidates for formal interviews.� Of the five candidates, 2 were from within the league and 3 had no affiliation with CGBFL.� All five candidates came with exceptional experience and football knowledge.� After the interviews, 2 of the candidates withdrew their name.

On March 20^th, 2006, there was a special board meeting to select a head coach.� The committee made its recommendation and the board members met and interviewed each candidate.� A closed session followed, and after much deliberation and discussion,� the board made a near unanimous vote in favor of Bill McKee.

We are very pleased to have Bill as our new head coach.� He not only brings the experience and credentials as a coach, but brings an unbelievable passion to the team, league, and sport.� As one young board member put it, �Bill is the face of Center Grove Bantam Football.�

Please join us in welcoming Bill into this new position, and wishing him and his staff good luck in the coming season.
