"The last two years have been tough, but I have seen our football players grown even during losses," Younger said in a resignation letter.
Younger, a Sweet Home alum, previously coached at his alma mater, West Albany and Harrisburg. He plans to remain at South as a teacher. His son Kaden is a freshman and a football player at the school.
“I want to thank all of the assistant coaches who have devoted hours and hours of time and effort to help build this football program,” Younger added in the letter. "I appreciate their loyalty and commitment to the players and their families.”
The Democrat-Herald and Gazette-Times will have more on Younger’s resignation next week.
