St. Joseph football coach Gandalf Church announced today that he is stepping down. Church spoke with his players this afternoon after school to inform them of his decision.
Church took over the program in 2011 after Elliot Uzelac stepped down. The Bears were 53-28 under Church’s guidance. The 53 wins ties him for third place for most wins at St. Joseph. He led the team to the Southwest Michigan Athletic Conference West Division Championship and a District Championship in 2015.
Church had served as an assistant coach under Uzelac at St. Joseph. Before that, he was an assistant coach at Paw Paw, Kalamazoo Christian, and Sturgis.
