Bove back in at Ringgold

Bob Bove was hired again to coach Ringgold's wrestling program. Bove coached the Rams for eight seasons before taking the same position at McGuffey in 2005.

Bove replaces Luke Smith, who resigned after the season because of family obligations. Bove was an assistant coach on Smith’s staff last season.
Ringgold finished last season with an 18-10 record and earned a spot in the WPIAL Class AAA Team Tournament in Section 4B. Smith, a Ringgold graduate, had coached at his alma mater for four seasons.

On another front, Burgettstown will hire someone to coach its wrestling team, possibly Terry Havelka. Havelka took last year off to watch his son Jeff compete at the University of Findlay. Terry was supposed to return for this season but the NCAA might grant his son another year of eligibility because of an injury-filled 2007 season.

The NCAA has been dragging its feet on the matter. If the NCAA refuses the extra year, Havelka will probably return. If the grant the extra year, Havelka will probably be a volunteer assistant.
