HS Football: Blue Mountain names Kutz as head coach

ORWIGSBURG — Blue Mountain’s new head football coach is a Hall of Fame blast from the past.
Chuck Kutz was introduced as the Eagles’ next head coach in a meeting with his players Friday afternoon.
The 57-year-old North Manheim Township resident was Blue Mountain’s head coach from 1998-2008, guiding the Eagles to six District 11 Class 3A titles and three trips to the PIAA Class 3A playoffs in those 11 seasons.
Blue Mountain athletic director Doug Morgan said he got the OK from the school board to introduce Kutz to the team and begin offseason workouts. Kutz will officially be ratified by the board at its Committee of the Whole meeting Feb. 20.
“When I heard his name … wow,” said Morgan, who said there were four applicants. “This is the absolute best situation for the Blue Mountain football program and its athletes, without a doubt.”
