REYNOLDS CHOSEN AS NEW HOOPS COACH IN EP

EAST PALESTINE, OH- For years, East Palestine was synonymous with championship-caliber basketball at the varsity level.

All you need to do is look at the wall of the gymnasium to validate that statement.

In 2022, the Bulldogs are looking to get back on track with their latest hire (BOE Pending) Tristan Reynolds.  Reynolds, a graduate of Crestview has made his mark on programs in EP for the better part of the last decade.  Coaching in the Middle School to begin his career, and finding his way back home to coach several levels at Crestview, only to come back last year as Assistant Varsity and Head JV Coach of East Palestine.

This will be the first stint for Reynolds as the lead dog at the varsity level, and he hopes to make the most of it by bringing energy and winning traditions back to Bulldog Country.

YSN had the first interview with the new coach for East Palestine and discussed plans for the future of the program as well as what will set him apart from the others in the area.
