John Boogaard was named the new head football coach at Bridge Creek, the school announced Jan. 28.
Boogaard arrives from Norman North, where he coached the offensive line, and replaces Larry Spangler, who went 10-30 at Bridge Creek after taking over in 2022.

A Colorado native, Boogaard played college football at Western Colorado and Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana.
He was named an assistant at Southwestern Oklahoma State in 2019 before making several stops and was selected to the Oklahoma Football Coaches Association’s “35 under 35” in 2023 when he was at Edmond North.
Coming off a one-season stint at Norman North, Boogaard will take over a struggling Bridge Creek program.
The Class 4A Bobcats went 1-9 this past season and have won just 22 games since 2013.
