The school won’t say anything until it’s officially approved by the school board at its Feb. 16 meeting, but Randall Rath has been tabbed as the next head football coach at Hays High School. Several media outlets and Cimarron High School have confirmed that Rath will be leaving at the end of the year.

Rath, who was a finalist for the position last year, becomes the third head coach in three years at HHS. He replaces Bo Black, who announced his resignation last month after one season to take the head coaching job at Shawnee Mission Northwest.

Rath was the coach at Oakley High School for nearly 30 years before taking over at Cimarron last season.
