There’s a new man at the helm of the Monessen high school football program, looking to steer the ship in what he believes is the right direction.

“Everyone knows the tradition at Monessen but it’s gotten away from that standard. I’m excited to be the guy to bring it back to prominence,” said new Greyhounds head coach Shane Swope, who was unanimously hired by the Monessen school board Tuesday night.

“I want to thank the Monessen school board, athletic director Gina Naccarato, principal Eric Manko and superintendent Dr. Leanne Spazak for giving me the opportunity. I’m very grateful and humbled by the whole process.

“I also want to thank the administration at the Yough school district. They gave me my first opportunity and I’m so grateful for that as well.”
