Gowanda Central School Athletic Director Joe Bruening held a pre-season coaches meeting on Aug. 10 to go over expectations for all Panther coaches for the 2017-18 school year. He did not stress win-loss records but rather that coaches and players are giving their best effort and to make sure that school work comes first.
There were a few coaching changes as Dave Bolen becomes the head modified cross-country coach. Larry Wheeler replaces long time football coach Mark Leous as the head junior varsity football coach. Bret Ebling will serve as the junior varsity football assistant coach. Katie Stang will be the new GCS swim coach that combines with Eden Central School for practices and meets. Bolen, Ebling and Stang will also be first-year physical education teachers in the district.
