David Janicki
just finished his second season as
the head coach of the Hartford Indian Varsity
Football Team. His current record with
the Indians is 16-5.
During his second season with the team in 2007, Janicki led the
Indians to greater heights and success. His
Indian team finished 8-2 on the year and 5-0
within the Southwestern Athletic Conference
South Division. And on October 19, 2007, Janicki
accomplished his biggest goal to date: a
Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship.
The Indians defeated Gobles 42-14, bringing
Hartford its second SAC title in five years.
Janicki led the Indians to the playoffs for the
third straight year, but unfortunately, the
Indians lost in Round one to Constantine. But,
for the first time since 2002, the Indians
finished the regular season ranked in the state,
finishing #9 in the final Division 7 poll.
In his first season with Hartford, Janicki led his team to an 8-3
mark and a 4-1 record in the Southwestern
Athletic Conference's South Division. That allowed
the team to garner a South
Division title, winning that title after a huge win over
Decatur in Game 8. They also, for the
first time since 2002, won a playoff game,
winning over Wyoming Lee 20-12. Also, during his
first season, due to the Indians success, he was
able to help Assistant Coach Terry Manning earn
all-state Assistant Coaching honors. Manning, a
1982 Hartford graduate, has been coaching at his
alma mater for over 20 years.
Janicki came to Hartford in June of 2006 from Niles High School, where he recorded a
29-29 mark with the Vikings over six years. He
took the perennial losing team to three straight
playoff appearances in 2001, 2002 and 2003,
where he put Niles Football on the map with a
much hyped upset victory over Sturgis in a
Pre-District playoff game in
2003.
Before he came to Michigan from Indiana, Janicki spent one year as a
graduate assistant coach with Ball State
University in Muncie, a five year head
coaching stint with Blackford High School
and as a quarterback and running backs coach at
Mishawaka Penn High School, a school that
won six state championships in a row, as well as
89 consecutive games.
Janicki serves as Athletic Director and Social
Studies teacher for Hartford. Coach Janicki, a former Indiana
resident, now resides in Hartford and has been married to his wife, Janice,
for 13 years. They have twin children, son, Bo
and daughter, Jasmin. |
