The school announced Tuesday that Doug Robertson has been hired as the new varsity head coach. The South Dearborn Community Schools Board of Trustees voted 7-0 on Monday to give Robertson the job.

Robertson comes to Aurora by way of Franklin County High School, where he amassed a record of 47-51 in four seasons. He also has previous coaching experience at Michigan City High School, Covenant Christian High School, Bishop Noll Institute, and Andrean High School. His career record as a head coach in Indiana is 105-142 in 12 seasons.

Robertson will take over a Knights program which went 11-13 in the 2017-2018 season under one-and-done coach Kent Vories. He will try to lead them to their first winning season since the 2011-2012 campaign.

Michael Bree spent three seasons as South Dearborn’s head coach from 2014 until 2017, following the departure of longtime coach Bob Bressert, now at Milan.
