Webster County High School’s search for a new football coach has ended. School officials announced on Monday that 25-year-old Matthew Kettler, a Richmond, KY, native would be taking over the program.

Kettler is a 2002 graduate of Madison Central High School where he was a three-year letterman in football. His coaching experience includes seven years as an assistant at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School (2005-07) and East Jessamine High School (2002-04, 2008). He is currently employed at Elkhorn Middle School in Franklin, KY, as a seventh grade math teacher.

“I’m thrilled to be coming to Webster County. The school has great facilities and good tradition and the administration seems very supportive,” Kettler said on Monday.

Congrats to the Bulldog.

Man! I'm getting old. Matt is now a head coach! He played on one of the freshman teams when I was a freshman line coach at Madison Central. He was hard worker and great young man. I'm very happy to see this.

 

Ket will do a good job and I think Webster County is getting a very good person and coach.

Congrats Coach Ketter.

Good luck and congratulations
