Trinity softball and Trinity rifle are the only sports to make the top 10.
That just about sums it up!
Word is - Wash High has hired a new basketball coach.
Who would that new coach be? Anyone out there have the scoop?
Mark Gaither is the new coach at Wash Hi
Where did he come from? I have never heard of him before...
I think he coached Bethel Park and Ringgold schools
Is the hire official yet? I wonder what kind of impact this will have on the team. Rumor around town was that a former player was going to be the new coach. Guess that won't happen now.
"Where did he come from? I have never heard of him before..."
Fired at Ringgold. Fired at Bethel Park.
You're not likely to hear of him again, after one year...
