Liporto leaves MAU football for New Hampshire job
Mt Anthony coach Ken Liporto, who led the Patriots to the 1975 Vermont Division I title, resigns after five years and will coach at Winnacunnet Regional High School in Hampton, New Hampshire. He starts early practice Aug 15, citing family ties and a growing 1,400-student district as reasons, while warning MAU faces budget cuts and reduced emphasis on football.
