Russo to step down in January

The report is official: Wolcott coach Patrick Russo will step down from his position in early January, according to Mark Jaffee's story with the Republican-American.

Russo cites wanting to spend more time with his family as the major reason for his resigning, which will take effect next month. He will stay on as Wolcott's strength and conditioning coach.

Russo was 27-14 in his four seasons as the Eagles' leader and led the team to three-straight winning seasons for the first time in school history.

The report says the position has not been opened for applications yet.

I know at least one person who sources tell me wants to apply for the job, but I'll let the1voyce pick up on that discussion on his next visit to us.

On another note, Remmy and I will be posting the thread for the first NVL Blog Awards soon. Look for it within the next week or so.
