For the first G&G Fitness Equipment Coach of the Week, Sam and Brad caught up with Jeff Twiddy, the new head football coach of the Louisville Leopards.

Twiddy said that the timing was right for him to take that job and work in a community that loves football.

"I'm pumped because it reminds me of Mogadore, and football is the most important thing there, and as a football coach you can't ask for anything more than that."

 Coach Twiddy graduated from Mogadore High School and was previously coaching at Byesville before taking the job with the Leopards.

Stay tuned next Friday for next week's Coach of the Week!

The Northeastern Buckeye Conference announced this week that they will disband in 2 years and Louisville High School will be looking for a new home.

NBC Commissioner Jim Carmichael joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about the move and what it means for the schools involved including Louisville.

 "The league bylaws say the league will be in place for two years, and then they will break apart," Carmichael said.

The other schools in the NBC are Alliance, Marlington, Carrollton, Canton South, Minerva, Salem, and West Branch.

Carmichael, who was not at the meeting when NBC officials made the vote to disband says he's not sure of the future of Louisville being in a new league. (Writer's Note) Calls to Louisville athletic administration were not returned as of Friday.

Carmichael said in talking to other league officials the main reason for the move was competitive balance across the sports, mainly football.

The Louisville Leopards are riding high heading into the final week of the high school football season after their defeat of the previously undefeated Salem Quakers.

"We wanted to jump on them (Salem) early, turn mistakes into points, which we did," DeMarco said.

 The Leopards are in first place in the NBC conference heading into their final game of the 2015 season against Canton South. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
