Veteran coach eyes MHS football vacancy
Veteran Montcalm High School coach Craig Havens eyes the head football job pending Mercer County Board of Education approval. Havens, 1982 start at Montcalm, has coached under the Generals since the mid-1990s and could leave his basketball post if chosen. The program hopes more students join football as five seniors depart from last year’s 1-9 team and a true home field becomes available for 2000.
