The school said in a press release on Friday that the Ada Board of Education voted Thursday night to accept the recommendation to move Christopher to the head coach position after serving as the defensive coordinator for the past five years. Before that, Christopher served as the program’s JV and running backs coach for five years under head coach Mike Fell.
