I wanted to give you a few updates regarding District 9.

 

1.  Our winter meeting will be Sunday, Feb. 16 at 2:00 at the Crestline VFW.  Please mark it on your calendars.  It's a little later this year because our state clinic is a little later than usual and the Super Bowl is Feb. 9.  $30 dues can be paid at this time.  

 

2.  There have been a few head coaching changes and if I know about it I have added you to this email chain.  I got a few names off the OHSAA website.  I don't know who the new coach at Bucyrus is and Arcadia's coach's email keeps getting bounced back.  If you know about these let me know.  I will send an updated directory when I get new information.

 

3.  Since we are now seven divisions, I compiled a tentative breakdown of our District 9 awards for this season using the formula we have used since 2019.  We can discuss this at our meeting

Division I-III (9)	6 first, 6 second
Division IV (9)	6 first, 6 second
Division V (6)	4 first, 4 second
Division VI (16)	11 first, 11 second
Division VII (14)	10 first, 10 second

 

We could combine Divisions IV and V, but I don't think it's necessary.  We can discuss this in Feb. 

 

4.  Please register and attend the state clinic Jan. 30-Feb. 1.  Our clinic director Brian Hiscox has scheduled a great group of speakers and Jeff Keck (Vermilion) is going into the HOF.  There is a small fee ($30) to attend the HOF luncheon this year to offset the actual plate cost ($85).  This is an excellent deal to hear the speeches of the inductees.  As a young coach I found this part of the clinic to be the best because I wanted to learn what made these coaches successful! Also, I will be running the vendor hall this year.  Here is the link:  https://associationdatabase.com/aws/OHSBCA/pt/sp/programs-state 

 

5.  Lastly, our leadership will be the same as last year.

 

President:  Zack Moots (Sandusky)

VP: Rick Bowerman (Seneca East)

Secretary: Kenny Fagan (Galion)
