As the SCOL schools prepared for another football season in September 1973, the “Coaches Musical Chairs” game was in full throttle. Jay Knierim was out and Fred Brisker was in at McClain. Dale Ambos was out and Mike Doyle was in at Hillsboro. Doyle came to Hillsboro from Franklin Heights High School, where he was backfield coach. He was a Miami Trace High School and Wilmington College graduate, who had also attended Ohio State University.
