Both boys and also girls’ soccer were added to winter sports for the upcoming season and for a small school like Hilmar, who had one coach doing double duty during their former respective seasons, a new coach was needed to take over one of the teams. Former head coach Louie Bettencourt decided to take on the head coaching spot for the guys — boasting a Section Championship season just a year ago — and the school brought on Doug Delay, a Turlock resident with plenty of years coaching travel ball, to take the duties for the gals. “With the women's program switching to the winter time, Hilmar was in need of a coach and Louie has done a phenomenal job of taking the program to where it is today,” said Delay.
