Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!
After an outreach of support from the parents and players of the Old Forge Basketball Program, Coach Al Semenza is BACK!
Semenza submitted a letter to rescind his resignation on Tuesday to the school district, and after a tense vote on Wednesday night at the school board meeting in front of a packed house of supporters, the school's all-time leader in coaching wins is once again the coach of the Blue Devils.
The vote was 5-4 and why is was that close is discussion for another day. But I must say to the 5 members that voted for Semenza, you must be congratulated on doing the right thing for the KIDS.
Frank Scavo said it best as he indicated that he had personal differences with our beloved Phonsy, yet knew the only thing to do for the team and the program was to bring Coach Al back.
Ron "Stack" Stacchiotti, a board member who had applied for his "lifelong dream job," also said he will always do what was best for the kids of the OFSD community and that what was best was to give them the best coach for the job - Coach Al Semenza.
For the record, Kim Bucari, Chris Jones, Debbie DeSando, Scavo and Stacchiotti voted for Coach Al.
Julie Aulsio, Pat Aulisio, Gene Talerico and Larry Enderline voted NO!

Just when he thought he was out...They pulled him back in....
Anyone who voted NO against Semenza should have their head examined, and obviously know nothing about basketball.
And Joe, those people also obviously do NOT care about the students/athletes, parents or taxpayers in OUR school district. Hope you, and your families will remember this when Elections occur again in OF.
