If he bring a little bit of both of those coaches with he, you have to believe it will work out well. Time will tell. Best of luck to Valley and their new coach.

You are 100% correct on the hire.

Back to the Marietta topic...I really don’t know what the Athletic Director sees in Secrest. I believe there were originally two solid candidates in Garrett Foggin and Jerry Mitchem. I believe Foggin was part of a highly successful program at Parkersburg South. Mitchem was a head coach at Beallsville HS many years ago and was most recently an assistant coach/freshman coach at Warren. Also, back in the day, he played three sports at Salem College (NAIA All-American). So he knows what it takes to encourage kids to be successful. So all in all, you have two coaches from the top two basketball programs in the Mid Ohio Valley and Rick Guimond recommends (twice) a coach from last year’s staff. Someone, please explain to me how this makes sense? It’s in my opinion that Mitchem would have been the best option for Etta due to his good rapport with kids, no-nonsense/honest approach, and prior experience as a head coach.

I understand that JD will be the coach at Marietta good luck coach !
