Milan Football Looking to Maintain Winning Tradition Under New Head Coach

The 2022 football season ushers in a new era for the Milan Wildcats as new head coach Mark Cole will look to lead them to another strong season in the Grand River Conference. Cole says one of the key returners from last year’s 6-5 squad is Darren Doporto.

The Wildcats roster features a total of seven seniors and several returning underclassmen who saw significant playing time.

Another key returner for Milan is wide receiver Jeremy Bennett, who missed last season due to an arm injury. Cole spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach under longtime Milan head coach John Dabney. Cole says the team’s expectations remain the same under his watch.

Milan opens the season at home Friday against South Shelby. You can hear from our area football coaches during our annual KRES Kickoff Show Thursday night beginning at 6:05.
