LOGAN — Although his hiring wasn’t made official until late in Monday night’s Logan-Hocking Board of Education meeting, new Logan High School football coach Billy Burke had already expressed his desire to hit the ground running.
Once he was informed earlier in the day that the job would be his, the 36-year old Burke, who served as head football coach at Buckeye High School in Medina for five seasons, asked to meet with both prospective players and coaches toward the end of classes this afternoon.
Upon the recommendation of Steve Stirn, superintendent of L-H schools, and a six-person panel of school administrators and former coaches, Burke was hired as the 30th head football coach in the history of the Chieftains.
