The Kentwood Conquerors football team will have a new leader come fall.

It was announced Monday that Kent-Meridian and Washington State University graduate Mike Bush will head the Conks.

For the past four years, Bush has been the wide receivers coach for the Bothell Cougars.

Bush was a two sport athlete at Wazzu competing in both football and basketball.

When deciding to go with Buch, Kentwood Athletic Director Jo Anne Daughtry said they “chose to go in a different direction with the program.”

She added “We felt Mike Bush offered us the best opportunity to get some fresh eyes and bring a renewed enthusiasm into the program.”

Daughtry added Bothell head football coach Tom Bainter highly recommended Bush for the job.

“We are very excited to have Mike lead Kentwood now and into the future,” she said.
