Marcus McCullough played his final football game at Ringgold in 1987, losing to New Castle in the WPIAL Class 3A semifinals.
Now he’s in charge of restoring the Rams’ program into the force that it once was, and he’s relishing that chance in his first season at the helm.
“It’s certainly an honor that they’ve given me an opportunity to work with the youth and give back to the place where I grew up and played,” McCullough said. “Having the chance to restore Ringgold’s program, with the tradition that they once had as far as being a competitive football team, is an honor that I take very seriously.”
The road ahead will bring challenges for this Ringgold program. The Rams are coming off of a 3-7 season and move into a similar conference that features Connellsville, Latrobe, Laurel Highlands, McKeesport, Thomas Jefferson and Trinity. The Rams were 0-4 against those opponents last year.
