New Belhaven Coach

Joe Thrasher will be the new head football coach at Belhaven College. Joe was a solid student leader when at Belhaven, was assistant coach there for a while. Here is the story from the Clarion Ledger.
Joseph Thrasher, a former Belhaven College football player and assistant coach, was named the NAIA school's new head football coach on Thursday.

Thrasher spent the last three seasons as head coach and assistant athletic director at NAIA Bacone College in Muskogee, Okla.

The Warriors, 12-20 during Thrasher's tenure, went from 1-9 in 2006 to 7-4 in 2008.

Belhaven will formally introduce Thrasher at a press conference in Barber Auditorium on the campus Monday at 1 p.m.

Thrasher replaces Don Lee, who resigned last month to return to his alma mater, Olivet Nazarene. The Blazers went 2-9 last season, Lee's fourth as the head coach.

Thrasher was an assistant under Lee during Lee's first two seasons as BC's head coach and played for the Blazers from 1998-2000, the first three years of the program.

He coached at Mississippi School for the Deaf in Jackson from 2001-03. He led the school to three straight deaf school national championships and was named national coach of the year in 2001 and 2002.
