Brandon Mowry is no longer the head football coach at Knoch. According to a social media post by the coach, he was informed by the school administration that his position would be opened and he would not be returning for a fourth season.
From the South Butler County School District -“At this time, we have made the decision to move in a new direction with our football program. We feel it is in the best interest of our football program and student athletes to open the position and search for a new head football coach. We would like to thank Brandon Mowry for not only the work he has done these last three seasons as the head coach but also for his many years of service to Knoch football as an assistant coach.”
Mowry was hired in January of 2019 to replace Frank Whalen, who stepped down after two seasons. Mowry was a 2002 Knoch graduate who has been affiliated with the Knight’s football program for more than 15 years. In his first season the Knights rattled five consecutive wins to start the season, ultimately ending up at 6-4. The Knights were winless in the 2020 season shortened to seven games because of the pandemic, and then were just 2-8 this season.
