The former Central Bucks West coach Mike Carey will take over as the Vikings’ defensive coordinator and offensive line coach for head coach Steve Devlin.

Carey spent most of his career coaching as an assistant to Mike Pettine at Central Bucks West. Carey took over as head coach at West in 2000. He guided the Bucks to the state’s Class 4A title game before losing to Erie Cathedral Prep in overtime.

Carey resigned after that season. He coached at West for 24 years as the right hand man to Pettine.

Wood’s defensive coordinator job opened when Jim Manion resigned after the season.

The last three years Wood’s record was 32-9. They reached the state finals in 2008 and the semifinals in 2009. Carey will bring his experience and knowledge to the Vikings.
