The area’s high school football landscape has experienced a shakeup in recent days.

Monday, Shenandoah promoted assistant Scott Widner to fill its head coaching vacancy, while Madison-Grant appears on the verge of losing Randy Sehy.

“The fact is (Marion High School) did offer me a job, and I did accept it,” said Sehy, the Class 2A Argylls head football coach the last three seasons. “No official announcement has been made, pending (Marion School Board) approval.”

According to sources, the Marion Community School Corp. has not approved the hire to date, but is expected to once the board reconvenes in two weeks.

Sehy is expected to be named head football coach for Class 4A Marion and a high school administrator where he would serve as dean of students.

The head coaching position at Marion opened following the resignation of Zach Shay, who led the Giants to a 2-8 season in his first year.

Shay replaced long-standing coach Mark Surface in 2007, and served as an assistant at NCAA Div. 1-A Central Michigan University prior to his arrival.

Surface coached the Giants for 20 years, and his career spanned 40 seasons overall.

Shay, a 1998 University of Iowa graduate, accepted a position as linebackers coach at Alcorn State, which competes in the NCAA Div. I (FCS) Football Championship Subdivision.

At Madison-Grant, Sehy has compiled a record of 21-13, and helped lead the program to its first sectional title in 2006.

Overall, Sehy owns a career record of 41-31, amassed over the course of seven seasons.

In two of the last three years, Sehy has guided the Argylls to victories against Marion. Madison-Grant captured a share of the Central Indiana Conference championship in his first season.

Last year, Sehy served as an assistant coach for the North team during the Grange Insurance/IFCA North-South All-Star Game.

“Madison-Grant is great. I love it there. The kids are great,” Sehy said. “We were able to accomplish some great things there.”

Widner, an offensive and defensive coordinator with the Class 2A Raiders, replaces Kyle Hall, who resigned last winter after three seasons.
