MUNCIE — Chris Overholt was named Delta's head football coach Tuesday night at a Delaware Community Schools board meeting, taking the reigns from longtime coach Grant Zgunda.
A two-way lineman on Delta's 2000 team that won sectional and regional titles, Overholt has spent the past 10 seasons as a varsity assistant, the last of which was at Delta. He helped coach the offensive line with Jim Thompson, who like Zgunda retired after this past season. Overholt oversaw an offensive line that featured Ball State signee Kaleb Slaven and paved the way for running back Zach Mills to rush for 2,424 yards — which led the state and was an Eagles program record.
