Referee Association Recognizes Cougar Coaches

(New Carlisle, IN) - Two New Prairie football coaches continue to distinguish themselves following a successful season. Head Coach Casey McKim and Assistant Bill Gumm were recognized at a recent meeting of the Indiana Football Coaches Association.

 

McKim was named Coach of the Year for Region 2, which includes the schools of north-central Indiana. He was also selected to help coach this summer’s North/South All-Star game.

 

Gumm was elected once again as an Assistant Coach Rep for this region to the IFCA. This will be Coach Gumm’s 6th term in the position, which is influential in high school football rule changes.

 

With a 13-2 record, the Cougars won Sectional, Regional, and Semi-State Championships, finishing as Class 4A State Runners-up.
