Head Coach for the North team is Mike Dirksen, from Newman Catholic.  Assistant coaches include Josh Bolluyt, Spirit Lake; Kelly Williamson, Eagle Grove; Bill Byrnes, Lake Mills; Pat Norem, Iowa Falls-Alden; and Chad Moore, Forest City.

This fall, Hamilton will be attending Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., to play football and study pre-engineering.
