After the resignation of athletic director and head football coach Shad Hanna, Archer City ISD has named Bradan Ritchey the next leader of Wildcats athletics.

Ritchey was named the new athletic director at the Archer City school board meeting Monday night.

“I grew up as a coaches kid,” Ritchey said. “I’ve always been involved in athletics and football in particular. We moved around quite a bit growing up so I’ve been in a lot of different places.”
