The D.C. Everest School District announced that assistant coach Braden Mitchell has been elevated to head coach of the D.C. Everest High School varsity football team.
Mitchell, a long-term substitute match teacher at D.C. Everest, will be a full-time math instructor starting in the fall of 2024, as well as assuming varsity head coaching duties.
Mitchell, a native of Utah, was head soccer coach and head football coach at Northridge High School in Layton, Utah, before moving to Wisconsin in 2020. He was an assistant football coach at Stevens Point Area Senior High and at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point before becoming part of the D.C. Everest staff in 2023.
“Braden has more than 15 years of coaching experience and has taken an active role in building youth athletic camps in the communities he has lived in,” D.C. Everest Director of Athletics Mike Mathies said in a statement. “As the DCE assistant football coach he served as the quarterbacks’ coach and implemented a new passing game. He also is a respected athlete in his own right. We’re proud to have him lead the DCE football program and look forward to seeing the influence he can have on the next generation of Evergreens.”
The football season opens with practices beginning Aug. 6 and D.C. Everest’s first game in 2024 will be at home against Rice Lake on Aug. 22.
