Wash High has new coach

Now that was fast.
Washington High School has a new wrestling coach: John Paiani, who spent the past two seasons as the junior high head coach.
Josh Barrette, who coached the Prexies for the past five seasons, handed in his resignation two weeks ago and the Washington School Board filled the opening at its Monday night meeting.
Barrette was one of many who fought for the survival of the program when the school board wanted to eliminate it, along with the boys tennis and soccer programs.
Barrette said he will assume the role of volunteer assistant coach and work with the kids when possible. Barrette said he resigned so he could spend more time with his children, ages 2 and 4.
