John Edge is back in Owensboro after a two-year stint in Indiana. Edge was introduced Monday afternoon as the new Apollo football head coach.
Edge spent the last two seasons at South Spencer after a 14-year tenure with Owensboro Catholic. He is taking over at Apollo following the resignation of Phillip Hawkins, who left after two years to take the same position at Bryan Station in Lexington.
During his time with the Aces, Edge amassed a 130-53 record and was named district coach of the year eight times. Catholic finished runner-up in the 2A state tournament three times (2004, 2005, 2010) and won five region titles.
South Spencer went 3-17 over the last two seasons, while Apollo was 9-13 during that span.
A full story with thoughts from Edge and Apollo athletic director Dan Crume coming later. To watch the introductory press conference, click here.
