Findlay High School has hired Stefan Adams to be the next head football coach of the Findlay Trojans.

Adams takes over from Matt Pees who left after one season as head coach to return to the NFL.

He says Stefan believes in education-based athletics and is looking forward to enhancing the fundamental development of youth athletics and Trojan Pride within the community.
