Vermont high school football coaches for the 2024 season

The preseason practice started on Monday August 12 while the season started on August 29. 
 
A number of head coaching positions for this current year were filled after high schools in Vermont recruited new coaches. Some of them began their new tenure as head coaches by being promoted while others have returned to a school that they had earlier coached for at some point in their careers. 

For more on this year’s new hires, please read on below: 
 
Andrew Breting, Teacher at Poultney High School 
 
In southern Vermont Andrew Breting begins coaching at Poultney, a football-loving town, after Dave Capman retired after 42 years as a head coach of the team. 
 
“It is football of Division III in Vermont, however, they, particularly Poultney, do have a serious approach to playing football,” Breting said. ”The town really comes out in full support of the football team. “ 
 
That is why such things as the pep rally that Capman introduced as being done the night before each game were initiated. The whole football team marches through Main Street, and to top the night, there is always a bonfire. Breting was lucky enough to own the culture of football at Poultney since the latter was his team for two seasons in 2019 and 2020. 
 
Breting decided to leave Poultney when he was presented with a chance to be the offensive line coach in his old school, Vermont State university Castleton. He worked at the Spartans for the last three years in which he gained some of the most valuable of his coaching experience and now returns to high school football to continue coaching. 
 
Poultney schedules the start of the 2024 season on the 30 of August is away against Woodstock. 
 
This website was created by Chris Cadorette, of U-32 High School in Vermont. 
 
In 2012, Chris Cadorette – a life-long Vermonter – took his dream job as the head coach at U-32, his alma mater. Cadorette was an O and D lineman in high school and college playing at southern Connecticut state university and Norwich university. 
 
Cadorette continued to be a coach at U-32 since he joined in the academic year 2015-2016. He has gone through the promotion from being an offensive and defensive assistant coach, an assistant varsity coach to being the head coach. 
 
“Football has been in my life as long as I can possibly remember,”, said Cadorette. ‘It is noble to be associated with this noble cause of assisting in producing the next batch of leaders in Vermont through football. ’ 
 
U-32 will meet North Country in Week I, Thursday, Aug. 29 as the first high school sports game of the 2024 season. 
 
North Country Union High School, John Guebara 
 
John Guebara the former offensive coordinator for North Country in the last three seasons succeeded the previous coach Lonnie Wade who stepped down after three decades and following the program’s first title since 1997. 
 
Looking at him, translating from a clearly eased up demeanour, Guebara noted: “I took over just to continue the program from where the previous coach had left. ” 
 
Guebara actually hails from San Diego but did his college football stint in Dodge City, Kansas. He started making his way to Vermont in the early 2000s and was an assistant coach at North Country for five seasons. 
 
Studying in the Northeast Kingdom for the last ten years, Guebara has work as a coach for junior Falcon football team and has been managing NCF since 2015. Junior Falcon is a member of the Northern Vermont Youth Football League and acts as the feeders for the high school team. 
 
Adam Perry and the students of Fair Haven Union High School 
 
Recently a regular face on the program Adam Perry gets the chance of a lifetime to lead his alma mater at Fair Haven. 
 
He has been coaching with the Slaters since 2011 and Slaters turned heads when he assumed the mantle as the defensive coordinator in 2015. 
 
“This is my home,” Perry said, noting that he attended school in the town and that his uncle Dennis Perry coached football for more than two decades at the college. “Fair Haven football has been a part of my life so to speak since I was a little fellow. ” 
 
Newark expectations haven’t sunk even if the school will lose five North-South selection players that include Joseph Buxton and Trey Lee. The Slaters went through the 2023 regular season with a 13-0 record but succumbed to a cold shootout to Colchester in the seventh game at home. 
 
The Slaters do return a good nucleus of line men for the new season and the team will be at a strength of around 35/40 squad by the first week of preseason. 

Perry took over the post from Jim Hill, who became CEO of Fair Haven in January 2019. After that the Fair Haven comes to Windsor for the opener on August 31.

They contradict Reid Rando, the Mount Mansfield Union High School student activist. 
 
 Reid Rando, returns to Vermont for his first chance at being a head coach. 
 
Before this, Rando arrived to the staff the year after Mount Mansfield captured the state crown in 2018 and was the Cougars’ offensive coordinator for two years. Rando subsequently moved with his wife to Southern Maryland to take up the post of an assistant coach of the offense for the teams in Gilman School in Baltimore for the last three years before returning back to the Cougars as their head coach. 
 
When the previous coach stepped down and the job became available, I bounced on it like a ball, Rando said. ‘The administration, the students, everything, it just feels good, it feels like I belong here. ’ 
 
Rando has a wealth of experience as a coach of football having coached almost all positions on the pitch apart from kicking and punting. But the first six years of his coaching career he was in charge of the defense, which he never played on the field. 
 
 Rando will look for his first win when Mount Mansfield, gets its 2024 season started at home on August 31, against Burlington/South Burlington. 
 
 Dustin Rock current occupation is a teacher and he teach at Milton High School. 
 
 After playing for two championship winning coaches of the previous two seasons, Dustin Rock now looks destined to be the man in charge at Milton his alma mater. 
 
 This applied when Rock, a 26-year-old former Milton class of 2017 defender who played collegiate football at Vermont State University Castleton with specialization in the defensive line was assigned a new role as a radio colour analyst he referred to as ‘boyhood dream’. 
 
 “That will go down as a success in my life,” Rock, who works as a behavioral intervention at Milton. “I’m very involved in my players’ life at school. IT was easy for me to move into it. ” 
 
 Rock took the task replacing Mike Williams who had to step down personal issues after only one season at Rutland Herald. Before joining OEF, Rock was part of Jim Provost’s staff at Milton. 
 
 “I got a lot from both of them, it has been my privilege to share a work space ‘with them,” Rock said. 
 
 Rock said he anticipates about 45 players to turn up for the initial session of a training camp. He also has about 10 returning seniors for a Yellowjackets team that competed in the 2023 season with a 2-7 record, giving up in the Division II quarter-finals. 
 
 Rock did not announce precise strategies to undertake but he anticipated implementing different strategies compared to what the previous governor had in mind. 
 
 ‘‘It will depend on what we find suitable for out personnel’’ another participant known as Rock remarked. 
 
 The new Milton open at home with Colchester on Aug 30.
