Martin County High School introduces new head football coach
WILLIAMSTON, N.C. (WNCT) — Martin County High School will have a new head football coach roaming the sidelines next season.
John Wheeler, a Currituck native, was introduced as the Gators' new leader Monday. Wheeler has coached in college and high school, serving as head coach at Currituck High and previously coached on staff at UNC-Pembroke.
'There's so many opportunities to reach a different group. I think there's a lot of football that these guys are learning along the way,' Wheeler said. 'The Ah-Ha moment is really big with me, so I think just coming back to the high school level and again, being around guys I know and trust was the most attractive piece.'
