Kipchoge VanHoose was named the new head football coach at Little Rock Hall by the Little Rock School District on Wednesday.

VanHoose was the head junior varsity coach at Bethel High School in Hampton, Va., and brings a decade of experience as a head coach and offensive coordinator in the semiprofessional ranks, as well as various coaching and assistant coach roles in both Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo.

Under his leadership, the Kansas City Kaos of the North American Football League improved from a 5-5 record in 2007 to a 9-1 record in 2008.

VanHoose is a certified secondary math instructor who earned a bachelor of science in mathematics from the University of Central Arkansas.

The Warriors were 2-9 last season under Tim Scarborough, who resigned in June.
