The Perry Panthers have a new boys basketball coach in the fold.

Chad Spurgeon was named the coach and he plans on putting his stamp on this program and teach his players the value of hard work and teamwork.

He says he's excited to return to his alma mater and hit the ground running.

"It is fun to take on something like this obviously," Spurgeon said. "The Federal League is a very good public school league, there's a great sense of pride amongst Perry people, I've heard from a lot of the alumni and the people in the town, so I'm excited."

Spurgeon previously coached at New Philadelphia high school for the past six seasons.
