Newly hired Siegel football coach Michael Copley won't officially start teaching and coaching at the school until sometime next week.

However, Copley got a chance to meet with his team on Tuesday when he visited Siegel.

Copley was announced as the new Stars' head coach last Thursday, replacing Greg Wyant, who resigned following the 2016 season.

Copley spent the past season as head coach at Louisville's Ballard High in Kentucky, where he led his squad to a 9-4 record and 6A state quarterfinals appearance.

He was the defensive coordinator at Centennial from 2012-15.
