Palisades athletic director Becky George isn't just relaxing and enjoying the historic run her softball team is making. (By the way, no word yet on where the Palisades-Jersey Shore game will be played on Monday yet. The PIAA doesn't seem to be in a hurry to announce these sites this year).
Becky has been busy hiring coaches.
Here's the release she sent out this morning:
PALISADES’ PIRATES HEAD COACHING CHANGES:
Head Girls Soccer Coach, Mark Chilton, resigns:
After seven years as the head coach of Palisades’ Girls Soccer program, Mark Chilton announced that he will not return to coach next season.
“The Girls Soccer program has seen its share of successes due, in large part, to the heart and dedication of Coach Chilton over the past seven years,” said Rebecca George, Director of Athletics. “One sign of a great coach is when former players return home and take time to check in with their former teammates and coaching staff. Coach Chilton has a connection with student-athletes that will be missed.”

He led his team to the State Soccer Tournament in 2008 and in 2009, winning the Colonial League Southern Division four consecutive years from 2006 to 2009.
