Getting it right is top priority for new coach, upbeat Millers
BOB WILLIAMS/CHRONICLE PHOTO. New head coach Frank Geske – with two state title rings in his career – sees a bright future for Springfield High football.
SPRINGFIELD – Have you heard the news? The Springfield Millers football team is the talk of the town.
There’s good reason for the buzz.
Springfield lost only 10 seniors – a small number for a team of almost 50 players – from last year’s team that went 5-2 in league and made the postseason for the first time since 2015.
Part of the excitement was the offseason arrival of Frank Geske as the new head coach. Geske has the 15th-most wins (248) of any Oregon high school football coach, and won state championships at Marist (2009) and Tigard (’03).
After being let go by Marist earlier this year, Geske took over at Springfield, and he’s liked what he’s seen so far.
“The little things that I thought were over their head last week, they’re getting,” Geske said. “Which means we can install new stuff, or just wax the floor again next week and build up those little layers that are gonna make us really good.”
