Youth is served: Columbia turns to Brady Mathias as next head football coach

At the ripe old age of 25, Brady Mathias has been handed the keys to his own Lancaster-Lebanon League football program. And it's a storied one.

The former Hempfield football player and wrestler and Millersville University grad has gained school board approval to become Columbia's gridiron coach, as Mathias succeeds Bud Kyle, who resigned his post earlier this year after guiding the Crimson Tide to the Section 4 championship and into the district playoffs last fall.
