Support Surfaces For Return Of Former OHS Grid Mentor
A petition with about 170 signatures was presented to Ottawa High Athletic Director Lyle Rutter urging the rehiring of former OHS head football coach Chuck Blaney. Blaney left after the 1983-84 year for Blue Valley High School and resigned earlier this year. The group praises his leadership, while Rutter noted multiple applicants for the coaching vacancy and plans to screen candidates in early April, aiming to hire by late April. Blaney did not commit to applying for the Ottawa post and would consider other options.
