He hasn’t been on the job long, but one of the first duties for new Hays High Athletic Director Chris Michaelis will be finding a new head soccer coach. Boys and girls coach Saul Hernandez resignation was accepted at the USD 489 Board of Education meeting Monday night.

Hernandez, who replaced Michaelis as head coach, guided the boys team to a 7-11 mark this past fall. The girls’ squad finished 13-4-1, winning the WAC title and advancing to the 5A South Central Regional finals.
