VAN (AP) — Parents who helped resurrect Van High School’s football team will have to wait to find out who their coach will be less than two weeks before the start of practice.

Coach Bob Mullett cited personal reasons in resigning at the Class A school to accept a position as an assistant coach at Class AA Scott. Steve Bradley, the executive director of Boone County schools, confirmed Mullett’s hiring at Scott and said Thursday the Van opening will be posted soon.

The school district announced the football team’s demise June 30 due to a depleted roster. A few weeks later more than two dozen players showed up at a meeting and the 2009 season was declared saved.

Football practice starts on Aug. 3.
