Mizelle, who graduated from Lawrence Academy in Merry Hill and later Elizabeth City State University, led Bertie to the post-season in three of his four seasons as head coach, only missing out this season when the Falcons finished with a record of 1-10.
“I look forward to spending more time with my family and enjoying many hobbies that I have missed during my 16 years in coaching,” Mizelle added. “I want to thank everyone for their support and Go Falcons!
“I’ll miss the Friday night feeling of coaching … and the kids,” he acknowledged. “The good thing is being AD and teaching, I’ll still be able to interact with them.”
