Bill Steussy had the program today. He invited Chris Nelson, Head Boys Basketball Coach at Greene County HS to speak. Chris is a 2002 Jefferson-Scranton graduate and is beginning his 11th year as a basketball coach. In his first season at GCHS they went 14-8 last year. This year he has 46 kids in the program and they are looking at another winning season. They have their first home game on Dec. 1st vs. Gilbert. They recently completed a youth basketball program for students in grades 3-6th with around 60 kids participating. His HS players served as coaches for the youth teams. Thanks to Bill and Chris for the update! Good luck to the RAMS this season!
