Salsgiver named head football coach at Washington High School

By NICK SLOAN, NJSloan212@gmail.com

Bryan Salsgiver has been hired as head coach of the Washington Wildcats football program.

Salsgiver will become the third football coach for Washington in the past five years. He arrives to Washington High School after being an assistant football head coach at Shawnee Mission South.

Salsgiver is an alum of Shawnee Mission South, where he played quarterback for the Raiders.

For Salsgiver, the job will be tough.

He inherits a program that's coming off a 2-7 season. Worst yet, Washington football is just 3-24 in the past three years.

After last year, multiple players transferred to Schlagle High School and other programs in the metro area.
