GIRARD BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH CRAIG HANNON

/in /by

GIRARD OH- After a tough 2-21 season in 2023, the Girard Indians are looking for a fresh start and new momentum this year. With a focus on growth and resilience, head coach Craig Hannon is confident the team can learn from last year’s struggles and take steps forward as a program.

The Indians will lean on the leadership of seniors Dom Phillips and Nick Rafferty, two key returners who bring experience and determination to the court. Phillips, a versatile player with a knack for stepping up in big moments, will be a focal point for Girard’s offense. Rafferty, known for his work ethic and ability to impact the game on both ends, will play a critical role in helping the younger players adjust to the pace of the season.

Coach Hannon is focused on turning last season’s challenges into opportunities for growth, using the tough experiences as a foundation for building a more competitive team. With a group that’s eager to improve, the Indians are ready to hit the ground running.

Girard opens the season at home on December 3rd against Campbell, where they’ll get their first chance to show how far they’ve come. The Indians may still be a work in progress, but there’s no shortage of fight in this squad as they look to make their mark this season.

GIRARD OH-There are plenty of fun basketball conferences to choose from this season, most of which
should be competitive with a few teams in the running. However, none might be as wide open as The Northeast 8 (NE8) this year. Typically featuring multiple talented teams’ hoops season on the boys side, multiple teams feel that they are in the running for the top spot of the conference. One of those teams, surprisingly, flying under the radar are The Girard Indians! Although losing a good senior class from a season ago, The Indians are still coming off a 16-8 year where they were shared the top spot in the conference when all was said and done.

With plenty of returners that experienced the second place taste last year, you can believe that Girard will be motivated this season! YSNs Ty Bartell got the opportunity to chat with the skipper at Girard, Head Coach Craig Hannon about this season. Featuring topics like impact players this season, being the “grandfather” of the NE8, the keys to competing for conference and much more! Do not miss this edition of Coaches Corner and do not miss a second of Girard basketball this season with live games, scores, stats, stories and more on YSN!

GIRARD OH- The community of Girard is hard working, and gritty. Their basketball team does not shy away from that attitude. They will always be known for being feisty, scrappy, gritty, whichever word you’d like to choose to describe a team that simply won’t quit. With a competitive NE8 taking shape this season, the fact that Girard will always be fighting to stay in games makes them dangerous. They are a hard team to run out of the gym.

Head coach Craig Hannon came on Running Point this week to give us a little sneak peak into the Indians season. He talks with Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell about his team’s attitude, what the NE8 might look like, and much more. Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Craig Hannon is live.
