Coach Lance Schoff is in his sixth year coaching football at Mount Vernon.  He is a Mustang alumnus and was privileged to learn from and play football for Jim Bellamy.  After earning degrees from Iowa State University and the University of Iowa, and working in several cities throughout the Midwest, he moved back to Mt. Vernon with his family in 2012.

Coach Schoff and his wife Sue have two children--Cooper, a junior at Iowa State, and Samantha, a senior at Mt. Vernon.  

Growing up in Mt.Vernon I was very fortunate to play for Jim Bellamy and learn from several fantastic educators.  All were great role models for having a hard work ethic and setting expectations for excellence.  Their actions and words of wisdom prepared generations of Mustangs for success and I hope that our current coaches and I can do the same for our present-day team members.
