In a significant move for the local sports scene, Brooke High School has turned to its own history and nearby talent to appoint its new football coach. The Brooke County Board of Education recently endorsed Frank Sisinni to take the helm of the Bruins' football program. This decision marks a return to familiar grounds for Sisinni, who boasts an impressive background in both playing and coaching football within the region.

Sisinni's journey back to Brooke is rooted in his deep connection to the school. A proud 1990 graduate and member of the victorious 1987 state championship team, he brings not only experience but also a wealth of nostalgia and pride. His tenure at Weir High School over the past decade included seven years as an assistant coach followed by five successful years as head coach. Under his leadership, the Red Riders achieved notable milestones, including two playoff appearances and a remarkable state semifinal run in 2023.

The appointment of Sisinni signifies more than just a change in leadership; it represents a rekindling of tradition and a renewed commitment to excellence. With his proven track record and intimate knowledge of the area, Sisinni is poised to inspire the next generation of athletes. As the Bruins prepare for a new chapter under his guidance, the community looks forward to witnessing the positive impact this homegrown talent will have on the field and beyond. This transition also highlights the importance of fostering local talent and maintaining strong ties with the community, values that are essential for any thriving sports program.
