Principal Michael Devoll and Athletic Director Bill Tilden are pleased to announce the hiring of Justin Kogler as the next Head Coach of the Old Rochester Regional High School Football program. Coach Kogler is just the third Head Coach at Old Rochester since the 1986 season, succeeding Henry Quinlan and Craig Sherman. Justin was most recently the Head Coach at Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River, Massachusetts. At Bishop Connolly, Justin’s team set the school record for the most wins in a season in each of his first three seasons as Head Coach. Bishop Connolly also qualified for the playoffs for the first time in school history and made the South Sectional Semi Finals in 2014. Prior to taking over at Bishop Connolly, Coach Kogler was an Assistant Football Coach at ORRHS, working under former coach Henry Quinlan. Justin’s work at ORRHS included stints as the Offensive and Defensive Line Coach and the Defensive Coordinator. Justin also worked with the receivers and linebackers. Justin also was an Assistant Coach for the ORRHS Winter and Spring Track Teams. Professionally, Justin works as a Physical Education Teacher at Williams Intermediate School in the Bridgewater-Raynham School District. According to Bill Tilden, “He coached here a while back and even after he left, he’s been a big fan and he’d come to games. The kids are really loyal to him. He has a laid-back coaching style, but he expects a lot of his kids. We just like his style. He took on a program at Bishop Connolly that no one wanted and it was in a lot of disarray, and he turned it around so we know what he can bring to a program.” Principal Devoll said, “Having a Coach like Justin on staff is an asset. He was the perfect candidate for our search committee as he brings a strong background in both education and football. Having worked under Coach Quinlan and with Coach Sherman has afforded Justin the opportunity to learn from the best. We are very excited for the future of our athletic program.”
