Mountain View High School has gone north to find its next head football coach.
Aaron Hart, who previously coached at Class 3A Lincoln High School of Seattle, is the Thunder’s new coach. He first announced the news Friday on social media and Evergreen Public Schools district athletic director Cale Piland confirmed the news to The Columbian.
Hart replaces Adam Mathieson, who resigned in April after 15 seasons.
Hart became Lincoln’s football coach when the school reopened in 2019, but resigned in May after four seasons citing safety concerns for his players as the program moves to the Metro League’s Mountain Division, according to The Seattle Times.
Lincoln went 6-3 overall last fall and finished in a three-way tie for first place in the Metro League’s Sound Division.
