ALBION - Hayden Kilgore has resigned as both a coach and a teacher at Central Noble High School.

Hired in March of 2020 as one of the youngest head coaches in the state at 24 years old, Kilgore took over the Cougars program after a year as defensive coordinator under Coach Trevor Tipton.

In three years at the helm, Kilgore went 14-17 overall, including an eight-win campaign in 2021 in which Central Noble began the season 6-0.

The Cougars finished 2-8 in 2022, but are set to prime back a wealth of talent next season, including on offense with junior quarterback Brody Morgan, who had 1,216 passing yards this past season.
