There will be no need for the new head coach of R.A. Long football to relocate, but in true lumber town fashion he will need to utilize a bridge to get to work in The Planned City.
On Monday the powers that be at R.A. Long High School announced Eric Boswell as the next head coach of the program, wrapping up a four month long search for the right candidate. Boswell has previously served as head coach at three high schools in the region, and was an assistant coach with Kelso as recently as last fall.
“I think there’s a lot of good things about him,” RAL athletic director DeWayne McCabe said. “We had a pretty good group of candidates that applied and he had an impressive resume. He interviewed really well, came super prepared, and had everything dialed in.”
Boswell will take over for Jon Barker, who resigned as head coach after six seasons at the helm for the Lumberjacks. He final campaign came and went without a win to show for the effort.
