Bryan College announced Friday that Drew Courtney has resigned as men’s soccer coach after five seasons. He wants to “pursue other business opportunities,” the Dayton, Tennessee, school’s release said. “Stepping away from leading the young men in our soccer program was not an easy decision, but the right one for my family at this time,” Courtney said. The last four seasons his Lions have gone 12-4-2, 14-1-3, 13-5 and 10-5-2 in the regular season, with Appalachian Athletic Conference records of 8-0-1, 7-1-1, 8-1 and 6-3-1, and he was the AAC coach of the year in 2015. “Drew has done a phenomenal job and we are sad to see him go,” athletic director Mike Keen said, “but we are thankful for his service to Bryan and our student-athletes.”
