Two weeks prior to the conclusion of the regular season for the Waynesburg High School football team, head coach Russ Moore was asked by two school officials to “resign, effective immediately.”
Moore, one of the longest-tenured coaches in the area, obliged with a letter of resignation ending his third stint as Waynesburg’s head coach. He retired as the school’s football coach and athletic director after the 2015 season, but when a new coach could not be found he returned to the sidelines.
One of the youngest teams in the WPIAL, especially in Class AAA, Waynesburg only had three seniors and four juniors.
Moore was asked to resign the morning after a 28-27 double-overtime loss to Bentworth that dropped the Raiders’ record to 1-6.
Moore’s coaching career began at his alma mater, Clay-Battelle in Blacksville, W.Va. He has coached nine playoff teams and has a career record of 96-122. He guided Waynesburg to a WPIAL Class 2A championship in 1999 with a win over Washington at Three Rivers Stadium.
