Hall of Famer Mifsud lands dream job at Bedford | Training Camp Report

Dave Mifsud, a Hall of Famer from the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association, recently took on a "dream job" as the head coach at Bedford. Mifsud, who previously coached at Woodhaven, had a successful run with the Warriors, compiling an 8-3 record in his second season. Many of Woodhaven's top players are set to return for the 2026 season.

Mifsud left Woodhaven in January, citing his eagerness to accept the Bedford coaching position when it became available. He moved to the Bedford area five years ago to be closer to family and is deeply connected to the community. Mifsud was impressed by the Bedford football program's talent and work ethic after attending a playoff game there the previous year.

He retained some of the previous coaching staff and recruited new assistants, including former Bedford athletes Jerry Harris and Chad Henman. The returning players, such as quarterback Luke Whetstone and receiver-defensive back Keagan Dixon, have expressed their appreciation for the new coaching environment. Whetstone, in particular, looks forward to showcasing his skills in the spread offense under Mifsud.

Sophomore Yousiff Jomaa will serve as the primary ballcarrier, while defensive standout Everett Wingate returns after leading the Mules in tackles last season. Mifsud predicts his first season will be centered around consistent competition every Friday night.
