Ryan Pezzetti, son of longtime Ankeny football coach Jerry Pezzetti, will be joining his father at the helm of Ankeny Centennial's program.
Ryan confirmed the news to the Des Moines Register on Monday.
“It’s a unique opportunity,” Ryan Pezzetti told the newspaper. “It’s something you’ve always wanted as a kid, and it’s pretty exciting.”
Jerry Pezzetti coached the Ankeny High School football team for 43 years, ending his time with the Hawks by leading the team to a Class 4A state championship.
