Shen. Valley names Bench HSFB head coach
KAYLEE LINDENMUTH / SHENANDOAH SENTINEL FILE - Dave Bench coaches a Shenandoah Little League game.
SHENANDOAH – The Blue Devils have a new head coach, one who is familiar with the team.
The Shenandoah Valley School Board unanimously approved hiring Dave Bench as head varsity football coach at a short special meeting Monday night.
Bench was an assistant coach last year and has been a youth sports coach in Shenandoah for several years.
He takes over a storied, but recently struggling, football program from Ed Moran, who snapped the longest losing streak in the history of Blue Devil football at 34, but had a 6-34 record in four seasons. The Devils have not had a winning season since 2012.
Bench was not at Monday’s meeting.
