As the boys from Running Point catch up with Coach Wernicki to discuss the magical run of 2020. As well as the team outlook for the upcoming season, and the excitement for having the community back in The Fieldhouse. 

Struthers is most certainly going to be a new team with a lot of new faces. However, Coach Wernicki believes there are going to be some surprises in this young group of boys.

MCDONALD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH JIMMY FRANCESCHELLI

/in /by

MCDONALD OH- It was a magical time to be a Blue Devil during the basketball season last year. Both the girls, and boys teams were rolling on all cylinders and extremely fun to watch. While both teams lose some key pieces of those teams to graduation, that shouldn’t stifle the Devils faithful’s enthusiasm. When talking about the boys program, they will always have a team that makes their opponent play faster than they want, and get plenty of points off of turnovers. Their shooting will still be as electric as always, and when you add those two things together you get a dangerous team.

We had the opportunity to get McDonald head coach Jimmy Franceschelli on YSN’s Running Point to help us preview the season. He talks with Ty Bartell, and Anthony Hartwig about coaching in this school system, the schedule the Devils have in front of them, and much more. Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Jimmy Framceschelli is live.
