[Proseteye]

North Marion’s Willie Offord has stepped down from his position as head football coach the school announced via Twitter on Monday.

Offord led the Colts for four years, finishing with an overall record of 28-18 and bringing the program to new heights. During his final two years, the team went 21-6, with two trips to the FHSAA Class 5A, Region 2 semifinals and a trip to the 5A State Championships where the Colts took runner-up in 2018.

“I just want to thank everyone who supported us from the booster club to all the parents who helped out. And second of all, all the players that gave me the opportunity to be their coach, to follow my leadership,” said Offord. “I’ll never forget the kids out there and I’ll never forget the things we accomplished.”

While Offord has not announced where he is heading next, he says that he is pursuing other coaching opportunities.

The Colts say that a search for a new football coach will begin immediately.

 

 

Really bad news for the Colts. They won't do as well without Offord who seemed to motivate his players more than any other coach before him.
