2010 Simon Kenton grad, I believe. Played D-II college hoops. He was either a graduate assistant or assistant at Winthrop before heading to Cov Cath as a varsity assistant in 2016...he did a lot of work helping CJ Fredrick develop.

I believe he's been away from coaching for the last year working on his business career.

Congrats Casey! 
 

He will build a strong staff and be competitive in arguably one of the toughest districts in the state!

Did he play at NKU for a short time?  Also was he at Holy Cross as a player or am o thinking of someone else.

You're thinking of his older brother Corey.  Casey graduated from Simon Kenton.

The CCH coaching tree HAD Franzen, Fredrick and Sorrell.  In my opinion Ben and Joe are much stronger options.  Like anything else, time will tell.

Do we know that Ben Franzen and Joe Fredrick both applied? Because they aren't better options if they didn't apply to take the job...

I agree with your statement!  I simply said the other two are better options (imho).
