The Board of School Trustees of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation have named William (Andy) Hape, as the new head football coach for Reitz High School.
Hape comes to Reitz, following a stint since 2008 as offensive coordinator for the football team at Franklin College. Prior to Franklin, Hape served as assistant head football coach at Earlham College for four years; and as head offensive line coach at Webber International University from 2002-2004. He also was head offensive line coach at Lake Wales High School from 1999-2002. In addition to his full-time coaching positions, he has been involved in coaching all-star games and summer football camps in Florida, Kentucky and Indiana since 1999.
At Franklin, Hape has coached an offensive line that has been instrumental in winning four of the last five Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Championships along with NCAA Playoff berths in each of those championship seasons. Franklin College has a conference record of 46-12 since Hape arrived in 2008.
A 1999 Western Kentucky University graduate with certification at all levels in physical education, Hape was honored as a two-time All-American and team captain and MVP on offense during his collegiate football playing career. Hape graduated from WKU with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in physical education. He is currently working on his master’s degree in sports administration.
His awards and honors include being named to the Western Kentucky University All Centennial Team; being awarded the physical education major of the year in 1999, and being named the Most Valuable Offensive Player in 1998, as well as All-American for the 1997 and 1998 seasons.
Hape and his wife, Kristi, have three daughters, Mia, Sophie and Addi.
When his father was hired by Reitz, he did not have an Indiana teacher’s license. Does Andy have one?
