Some Good News



Former Columbia Head Coach Larry McElreavy has been named the new head coach of Newport H.S. Football in New Hampshire.

McElreavy's patient and persistent battle back to coaching has been a long one and one I've come to admire for many years.

I think the kids at Newport HS are lucky to get him.

Here's the good news: a 6-4, 208-pound rugby player has joined the Lions.

Here's the bad news: he's not a WR or a QB, he's a kicker.

Oh well, we're still happy to have a tough rugger like Matthew Panton getting onto the roster.

Best news today is that CJ Davis is still coming to Columbia, after a PG year at Peddie.

Old Lion: Can you tell me where you saw that news?

Geez, his LinkedIn profile makes no mention of him being a used car salesman. I think someone is playing a funny on Larry.

Though he has nice photo of himself and a sporty mustang. His tenure at Columbia is defined as "Broke the nations longest collegiate losing streak and recruited some of the best freshman football players the school had seen."
