"I would like to thank Coach Buffamoyer for his hard work and dedication to high school students and athletes over the past decades and specifically his commitment to East Burke High School and our football program," said Moore.
Buffamoyer, who served as an assistant coach on the Cavaliers staff before taking the head coach position, finished with a 5-28 mark including an overtime home win over West Lincoln in 2017.
"It was with a heavy heart that I informed Mrs. Moore of my decision to step down as the Cavaliers head coach," said Buffamoyer.
"After much self-reflection on where our football program is going, I feel it is time for me to step aside. I believe the program needs new energy with someone who has an energy about them that will reach out to young people and bring them into the program."
East Burke athletic director Jim Childers noted Buffamoyer will still currently coach the softball team as he started his first season with the Lady Cavs last season and also is willing to accept an assistant coaching role.
"There is a lot of football knowledge that will leave with (Coach Buff)," said Childers, who coached with Buffamoyer at EBHS since 2008. "I appreciate his hard work and dedication over the years with our students and athletes and his work to uphold the legacy of our football program."
The next head coach at East Burke will be the tenth in the 47th season of football at Danny Williams Field.
