Hart High School is proud to announce Jake Goossen-Brown as the 17th head varsity football coach in the school’s 78-year history.

It is Jake’s goal to have his players educated on the field and in the classroom, helping them to become people of good character,” according to a news release from the program, which added that he can’t wait to get started and build on the “winning tradition” that the Herringtons have established at Hart. Since 1983, the school has produced 20 Foothill League champions, 14 CIF Finals’ appearances and 9 CIF titles, according to the release .
