Tony Lewis from Evansville Reitz.

Wow!

 

Congrats Coach Lewis.

 

What can anyone tell us about Coach Lewis?

Lewis has 100 coaching wins in his career between Reitz and Wheelersburg (Ohio) High School. He replaced John Hart at Reitz in 2008. He is 53-11 at Reitz. Lewis won a state title in 2008, and also has two regional crowns and three sectional titles at Reitz

Sounds like a solid hire.

 

Any idea what the rest of his staff at Hendo will look like?

It was pretty thin to begin with. Hopefully Boston stays and a couple others.

That is interesting.

 

I am curious how the staff fills out, please keep us posted.

Will do. There is a press conference at the High School tomorrow at 10 and then the local the radio station's sports show is going to talk about it tomorrow at 5:00 I believe. Both can be heard at www.wsonradio.com

Who does he bring with him?

These kids are big, strong and hard working. Good program to take over right now. Wonder what Coach Boston will do? Gotta be a tough pill to swallow. Would he follow Clevenger to Danville?

First, I am not thrilled with the way this whole thing was handled. I can understand going after Chuck Smith and when that fell threw going to plan B. However plan B should have been hiring Josh. It appears that wasn't even plan E. I am also not sure how thrilled I am with who they hired. I guess I will reserve judgement on that and give him a chance, time will tell.

 

I really hope Lewis keeps Josh on as DC if Josh wants it. I know a lot of Reitz supporters were not happy with their DC last year (don't know his name).

I don't think he will but who knows. If Lewis doesn't keep him on and he wants to coach he may not have a choice.

It's a good hire. He will do a good job. I just hope that he opens the offense up a little. He is a Defensive guy so i'm guessing he is going to hire an OC and give him total control of the O.
