With the 2011 officially in the books, a couple of schools have seen moves at the top of their programs.

Palisades High School has hired Kevin Ronalds as its new head coach.  Ronalds, who's been an assistant at Pen Argyl High School for a couple of season, replaces Jim Brady who was 3-17 in two seasons as head coach.

Ronalds has previous head coaching experience, having been the head coach at Allen from 1997 to 2006 where his teams went 34-69.

Northampton's search for a new head coach is underway.

Bob Steckel resigned after five years on the job.  Steckel is stepping down after leading the Konkrete Kids to a 26-32 record, including a 3-9 mark this past season.

Steckel's best season was in 2008 when Northampton finished 10-3 and won the Eastern Conference AAAA title.
