I know a significant number of coaches (and others who are well-connected to coaching staffs) frequent this Board, so I am hoping to widen our candidate pool should someone reading this potentially be looking to make the jump from assistant to HC, or perhaps know a coach with Central Illinois ties that is looking to get back to the area.
The head coaching vacancy is at Heyworth High School, which is 10 miles south of Bloomington-Normal.
Heyworth is a 1A school with approximately 260 students. Our football team ended a 10-year playoff drought this fall and finished 7-3 (schedule below) behind a sophomore class that has created a bright future for our program.
Our varsity team in 2023 had three sophomores start both ways, two freshmen start both ways, and several other sophomores start. All told, we could have as many 17 starting positions back from 2023, 19 if you count specialists.
We have a very nice stadium/facility for a 1A school that includes significant lockerroom/meeting space and a new weight room and gym.
Our athletic culture has continued to improve, as not only did football return to the playoffs ahead of schedule, but our boys basketball team played in a Super-Sectional last night, our baseball team reached its first Sectional Championship game in school history last season with eight underclass starters, and our relatively young wrestling program has produced two state champions thus far. Additionally, in the past two years, we have added three coaches who have taken other sport programs to state as head coaches at their previous schools.
We currently have a PE teacher position open, match all years or service, and are very competitive in our area from a salary standpoint.
