The Union football team has a new coach, just as heat acclimatization workouts are set to begin. Niedbala also resigned his athletic director position at the school, according to Union superintendent Dr. Michael Ross. Niedbala played high school football at Blackhawk, graduating in 1992. In the statement, Ross thanked Niedbala for his time at Union and wished the veteran coach well in his future. “With preseason activities already underway and the football season rapidly approaching, it was important to ensure consistent leadership and minimize disruption for our student-athletes and coaching staff.”
