Ekart Returns to Red Raiders' Grid Iron

Sidney High School announced on April 2 that Todd Ekart will return as the Red Raiders’ Head Football Coach.

Ekart will also teach weight lifting and athletic training classes at the high school while also taking over as the Summer Weights Coordinator. 

With 20 years of coaching experience and 10 years as a Head Coach in Sidney, Gering and Beatrice, Ekart has the experience and dedication to continue to build Sidney’s strong football program. In 2013, Coach Ekart led the Sidney Red Raider Football Program to its first playoff win in nearly 20 years.

Coach Ekart also led Sidney to another playoff appearance in 2014. 

Ekart said, “I am excited to return to a place with great kids that has outstanding support from parents, the community, and the school. I am looking forward to working within a prominent football program at Sidney High School.”

Ekart replaces Chris Koozer, who has accepted a Head Coaching position with Norfolk High School starting in the summer of 2021.
