East High School head football coach Marques Hayes spoke with Sam and Brad Wednesday to talk about the team's big matchup with Buchtel on Friday night at Infocision Stadium. 

 

Ellet High School has a new football coach, a familiar face to fans of the Orangemen.

Longtime assistant coach Chuck Shuman joined the Sam and Brad Show and Sam Bourquin Monday afternoon to talk about being named the coach and what he looks to bring to the program.

 

Shuman takes over for coach Joe Yost, who was the head man at Ellet for 38 years.  Shuman was an assistant coach for 32 of those years.

 

The Ellet Orangemen boys' baseball team is doing well on the diamond, and coming off of a good week, they are looking to continue to get better.

John Sarver, the head coach of the Orangemen joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about his young team and what they need to do to have success in the City Series.

"I like the makeup of our team, we lost four senior pitchers, so we're young in that area, we have a good defensive team and a good hitting team," he said.

Ellet only has one senior pitcher in Dustin Franklin, but coach Sarver says the young pitchers in the rotation have talent on their side, and with the experience they've been gaining this year, it has proven to be invaluable.

Ellet will face nearby rival Tallmadge this weekend, and he knows Kenny Linn's kids will be competitive on Saturday.

"He's always going to have his kids playing good defense, hitting the ball well, and have good pitching," Sarver said. "Kenny's always tough. 

 

A long-time high school tradition is back, and so is a long-time coach.

McGee led teams to 26 City Series contests. The game will be held at InfoCision Stadium.
