🚨HEAD COACH CHRISTOPHER SIMPSON🚨

The West Virginia Leviathan Amateur Football Team is proud to announce the return of Head Coach Christopher Simpson!

This will be Coach Simpson’s third year with the West Virginia Leviathan! Our first year as an organization Coach Simpson led the team to a 4-4 regular season with a loss in the conference championship and took the team to play offs, unfortunate losing in the first round to the same team we lost to in the conference championship. That year Coach Simpson was announced the “Coach of the Year” for the TPFL for 2023.

This past season Coach Simpson led the organization to a 6-2 record and took us to the playoffs as the #1 seed. Unfortunately, we came up short in the T2 TPFL Championship ending the 2024 season with a 7-3 record.

“Coach Simpson is a dedicated coach who not only puts in the effort but also the time. We have several conversations a day or week discussing plans/goals for the organization and what our expectations are for coming days, weeks, and years. We hope to continue growing and I know that no matter where he lands, Christopher Simpson will always be a Leviathan.” Proclaims owner, Derrick Villarico.

Everyone take a moment to Welcome Christopher Simpson in his return for YEAR 3!
