At a special board meeting held Tuesday morning, the Northeastern Local Schools Board of Education hired Eric Becker as Tinora’s head football coach for the 2023-24 school year.
Becker will be replacing previous head coach, Kenny Krouse. Krouse had resigned last October, following a controversy that alleged acts of hazing occurring within the football team.
Becker is a 1998 football alumni of Tinora, as well as the team’s assistant football coach for the past four years. Previously, he was the fifth- and sixth-grade little league coach, a position he held for 16 years.
There was brief commentary from the board regarding the choice of choosing Becker. They had undergone a multitude of interviews, they reported, with good candidates.
However, they had taken into account Becker’s many years of service to the school and positive image among community members and students alike. These qualities ultimately deemed him the best fit.
“I am truly blessed, it as an honor and a privilege to be chosen by the board,” Becker shared in a later interview with The Crescent-News.
“We are super excited to have the privilege to lead these young men,” he added. “We’re not going to re-invent the wheel, but we’re going to make it fun.”
