New Daleville AD hopes to keep the momentum going

DALEVILLE, Ind. — He's spent the last six years coaching at Duke University, but Benjamin Wissel thought it was time to come back toward East Central Indiana. He and his wife — both Richmond grads — wanted to be within reasonable distance of home with four children all younger than 8.

The timing was right, but Wissel had to find the right opportunity. He found it at Daleville. The leadership, tradition, current success of the athletic department, even a random student holding the door open for him when he walked in for an interview. It was just what he was looking for in a homecoming.
