(La Porte, IN) - La Porte High School will have a new head football coach.  Jeremy Lowery is resigning.  School officials said he’s been offered a job as head football coach at West Washington High School in the southern part of the state between Louisville and Evansville. 

The Slicers were 7 and 15 under Lowery but showed much improvement this season.  School officials said the opening will be posted next week and applications will be accepted until February 12.

Reports indicate the Penn High School graduate’s decision was influenced by a desire to return to an area where he coached before coming to La Porte.
