Bisho new football

Chris Bisho, a former Punahou football star and assistant coach at three Oahu high schools, has been appointed head coach of the Damien football team, Monarchs athletic director Herb Lloyd announced yesterday.

Bisho will complete his fifth year as athletic director at Academy of Pacific before taking the Damien coaching reins in the fall. He succeeds Mel Andres, who resigned as the Monarchs' coach at the end of last season.

At Damien, Bisho also will take a teaching position.

Bisho, a highly recruited Punahou lineman, played for Brigham Young before transferring to Southern Oregon, where he was an NAIA All-American.

He has coached at Kailua, Kamehameha and Pac-5.
