Rieken finally gets his chance to lead Comfort football program

COMFORT – Jay Rieken has been a picture of patience and persistence and those character traits have paid off for the longtime Comfort coach.

Rieken has been with the Comfort football program for 16 years and served under six different head coaches. He applied for the head football job whenever one of them left but was never promoted – until now.

When Brandon Easterly resigned after five years with the program last spring, Rieken applied and this time got the job.
