Peterman Named New Rittman Basketball Coach
Wes Peterman is chosen as the Rittman High School basketball coach for the coming season by the Board of Education on the recommendation of Superintendent W H Havnenstein. The 34 year old replaces Ashton Hall who served 17 years. Peterman, in the district eight years, also coaches baseball and assists football. He previously taught at Union Local High School in Coshocton County. He lives on Route 604 with his wife Pat and five children. The board also hired Donald Ritchie as freshman basketball coach and Homer Pyle as junior high coach.
