According to a report by Western Iowa Today , Tri-Center High School had its entire football coaching staff - including head coach Jake Gentile - suspended before a Week 7 contest with Missouri Valley.

“The district will not comment further about this personnel issue. We are trying to move forward and give the kids the best experience in finishing the season.”
