Today was a very special one for two Albion High alums, Adam Krenning and Maggie (King) Orbaker, as they held their first practices as head coach of the Purple Eagles varsity football and girls varsity soccer teams respectively.
“It’s awesome,” said Krenning of his move into the head football coaching position after serving as an assistant coach the last couple of years. “It’s exciting and it feels great to be back at it,” he added of the initial practice.
Krenning’s Purple Eagles are slated to open the season at home against Springville on September 1.
“It’s definitely a dream come true,” said Orbaker of coaching the team she used to play on. “It’s pretty special.”
Orbaker’s Purple Eagles will open the season on August 29 with a Niagara-Orleans League home game against Akron.
