Pusch Ridge is an established program with a proven winning philosophy that has endured through several different coaching changes in this past decade alone and first-year head coach Kent Middleton appears to be the perfect fit for a program that wins on and off the field. His gentle approach, and his complete trust in his assistants, can be traced back to 32 years on the sidelines as an assistant coach.
“The sideline for me is the easy part. That’s where I’m comfortable,” Middleton explained after his first win as a head coach. “I have a staff that’s phenomenal. They are experienced coaches who have had great success elsewhere. I really believe they are what makes us special.”
