Napa High could be forced to cancel 2017 football season
Napa High School will cancel its 2017 football season on all three levels – varsity, junior varsity and freshman – if it does not have a new head coach in place for its program by June 15, Thomas Sims said Monday. He will be athletic director for the 2017-18 academic year.
Napa has been without a head coach since Troy Mott’s resignation on March 15. There have only been just a few spring practices for players in the program this month.
In a letter dated May 18 to Napa High football families, Principal Annie Petrie said a number of “highly qualified individuals” have been interviewed for the position. Petrie said six offers have been made – two offers were to internal candidates and four offers were to external candidates. All have been turned down.
“We offered the position to our sixth candidate on Monday, May 15,” Petrie wrote. “On Tuesday, May 16, the candidate declined the offer. While we have remained hopeful throughout this process, we need to put a timeline in place to be transparent with our student-athletes and community.”
