Familiar face returns to take charge of football
Bethel Athletics announced Nov. 29 that A.B. Stokes, an assistant coach for two seasons in 2018 and 2019, has been appointed the next head coach of Thresher football.
Stokes becomes the 24th head coach in a program dating back to 1914.
“It’s an honor to welcome Coach Stokes and his family back to Bethel College,” said Bethel Director of Athletics Tony Hoops.
