Baseball -- Kinder named head coach at Southern Wells

PONETO -- Keith Kinder has been hired as the head baseball coach at Southern Wells High School.

The hiring of Kinder, 29, was approved by school board officials Tuesday.

The 1999 Jimtown High School graduate succeeds Jim Stoffel, whose full-time job in the agriculture business has caused him to resign as head baseball coach of a program that includes his son as a senior.

Kinder, who earned an English degree at Indiana University Purdue University-Indianapolis in 2004 and a teaching license through Bethel College in 2010, is in his first year at Southern Wells. He teaches English to juniors and seniors.

Kinder played football, basketball and baseball at Jimtown and coaches those sports at Southern Wells. In the fall, he coached quarterbacks in the Raiders football program. This winter, he is junior varsity boys basketball coach.

Southern Wells, a Class 1A school with an enrollment of 392, plays in the Allen County Athletic Conference. The Raiders are seeking their first baseball sectional title.

Is this your brother?

Yes this is my older brother.

Good luck to him.!!
