Newton County High School assistant sophomore boys basketball coach Joe McDonald has been asked to serve as head coach for one game on Tuesday, February 8 in Dixie.
The road contest against the Edison High School Bulbs was originally scheduled as a home game, but had to be postponed when the EHS bus driver was detained by lion-related injuries.
The conference game had to be rescheduled, with February 8 being the viable alternative. Since that date coincides with the head coach's obligation as keynote speaker for the International Foundation for the Deaf annual conference, the temporary promotion came to fruition.
McDonald's debut will be the second generation to take the helm. McDonald's father coached over a dozen high school teams to winning records in fourteen years.
"It's exciting to be part of the tradition for NCHS and the family," McDonald said. "The way to honor both is to provide the same quality Steelworker basketball, in execution and teamwork, that we've coached all year."
