New coach: McGuffey hires Brent Graham as varsity baseball coach
Summary
The board hired Brent Graham as McGuffey's head varsity baseball coach; he thanked the board, described the program's direction and noted a mandatory player meeting set for the coming Monday.
The McGuffey School District board approved hiring Brent Graham as the head varsity baseball coach under the district’s agreement with the McGuffey Education Association, and Graham spoke to trustees after the motion.
Coach Dalton introduced Graham, praising his playing history and fit with the program: "In my first 5 years here, Brent was a baseball player, and he was probably the best baseball player we had... He fits a lot of the things that we really look for in the coach," Coach Dalton said.
Graham told the board he was thankful for the opportunity and eager to build the program and reconnect with students. "I can't be thankful enough for all of you and appreciate the opportunity to be your varsity baseball coach... I look forward to a great season," he said. He also said a mandatory meeting for players is scheduled for the following Monday.
The hiring motion passed by voice vote after a motion and second.
What happens next: the coach will begin work under the terms of the district's coaching agreement and proceed with preseason meetings and player signups.
