🏈 Welcome Home, Coach Adam Rich!
Tri-Central Community Schools is proud to announce Coach Adam Rich as the next Head Football Coach of the Trojans!
A 2000 Tri-Central graduate, Coach Rich is coming home to lead the program that helped shape him. After graduating from Tri-Central, he attended Manchester University, where he enjoyed an outstanding collegiate football career as a team captain and 1,000-yard receiver.
His playing career continued at the professional level with the Columbus Destroyers and the Indiana Mustangs, where he earned All-League honors for six seasons, was named Offensive MVP three times, and recorded four 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He later joined the Indiana Tornados, transitioning to quarterback and leading his team to the 2013 National Championship Game while earning the league's 2013 MVP award.
Coach Rich has built an impressive coaching résumé with stops at Fishers High School, Guerin Catholic High School, Clinton Central High School, and most recently within Westfield's youth football system, where he has helped develop young athletes and build successful programs.
Coach Rich and his wife, Kathy, live in Westfield with their two children and two dogs. They are excited to become part of the Tri-Central community, and we are thrilled to welcome them back home.
Coach Rich brings a passion for developing young men on and off the field, a championship mindset, and a wealth of experience at every level of the game. We are excited to watch his leadership, expertise, and enthusiasm inspire our student-athletes and help build an exciting future for Tri-Central Football.
