After 18 seasons, eight state championships and a career record of 187-35, Jeff Ferguson has stepped down as head football coach at Totino-Grace.
Longtime offensive coordinator Jay Anderson has been named as his replacement.
Ferguson, known as an astute defensive mind, bucked the trend of private schools playing at lower levels of competition, taking Totino-Grace, a school with an enrollment of roughly 700, into the highest classes of the sport.
