Any word on Cardinal Stritch ??? it was posted here earlier that it was open but haven't heard anything since ??

Any word on Mansfield Senior?

Any word on Mansfield Senior?

Ok, so I read the Richland Source media outlet today online.

Mansfield just made a bunch of cuts.

Originally before the cuts Mansfield only had seven applications and 3-4 of them were internal.

After the cuts Mansfield is now asking those seven tuff die hards to reapply.

Maybe Chioke could run that search. He did well at Mansfield and knows it better than anyone.

Always been a dumpster fire, Chioke has always been the deodorant to that place. He is a saint for what he has done for the program, school and community.

I like how the school district attempts to highlight the new coaches accomplishments- that in 2020 he led Van Buren to the playoffs, everyone made the playoffs that covid year.
