If it is true that Knight took the job at Moreau in a few years he will have it a contender in the HAAL and in NCS. Anyone who can attract players to Fruitvale & Foothill, and have a competitive program year after year, will clearly do well with the support, and resources Moreau can throw around.
I think it wont be that long before they follow the trend of most east bay catholic schools and have a solid program for a while.

Here’s the real scoop. Coach Encelan was announced the interim coach right before the season started because Coach Barnes left. You are right baller, he knew it was interim. It was Encelan’s job to lose. The players didn’t respect him, didn’t hustle, basically he didnt get the team to play. Too may TO’s, guys wouldn’t rebound terrible player rotation etc. I seen 5 Moreau games last year, and this is better for Encelan, he didn’t deserve all that harassment that the parents was giving him.
Congrat’s Coach Knight, welcome to the HAAL and Moreau. Too bad my Odowd boys will still beat you guys by 20. haha
ya heard…

Encelan knew that this was an interim position. He and his staff did Moreau a big favor while they looked for an on campus coach. Props for the staff they did a great job for the next guy. To bad the new coach will reap the benefits.

Got to give Coach Vince props for hanging in there through a tough season, I know he could made good things happen as head coach.

I’ve know Frank since he was about 8-9 yrs old watching us practice @ Castlemont when his father Frank Sr. was an assistant coach (football). He’s an outstanding young man and i wish him nothing but the best in his journey.

OK, I stand corrected by the Guru then. If they’ve been interviewing candidates, then either Coach Encelan stepped down or they made a decision to go a different direction. Knight would be a good find for them.

Moreau has been interviewing candidates for the last 2 months… Hard to imagine that they would go through all of that trouble to keep the same coach. They are bringing in an on campus person. My guess its Frank’s new gig.
