Greenhill School Hires Head Football Coach
(posted June 15, 2005)

Following a comprehensive national search, Greenhill School announced Blake Ware as its twentieth head football coach. A veteran of the coaching ranks with 14-years experience, Ware comes to Greenhill from St. Pius X High School in Houston, Texas, where he enjoyed success as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator.

In seven seasons as offensive coordinator at St. Pius, Coach Ware helped lead his team to three consecutive TAPPS District 3 titles and the 1999 TAPPS 5A state championship. In six of his seven seasons at St. Pius, the offense averaged more than 350 yards per game and won at least seven games.

“We are thrilled that Coach Ware brings outstanding experience, a passion for excellence, and a proven commitment to education,” said Scott Griggs, head of school. “His enthusiasm and background make him an exceptional addition to Greenhill.”

"We are very fortunate to find a man with Blake Ware's expertise and knowledge to lead our football program,” said Earl Dorber, athletic director. “He possesses the positive qualities that we look for in our campus role models."

Coach Ware replaces David Roberts, who was recently named the assistant head coach and recruiting coordinating at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. Under Coach Roberts, the Hornets had three consecutive 9-win seasons, including an SPC championship in 2000.

“To be a part of the Greenhill community is something that is very special to me,” said Coach Ware. “The tradition of excellence at Greenhill in every area of developing young people is outstanding. My goal is to provide a football program that the entire Greenhill community can be proud of.”
