AN END OF AN ERA

COACH BOB SCHNEIDER STEPS DOWN AS COACH OF NCC

FOOTBALL PROGRAM

Today, long time Newport Central Catholic High School Football Coach Bob Schneider announced his retirement as the head coach of the Thoroughbreds, a post he has held for 44 years.  This comes after health issues sidelined the coach midway through the season.  In late December, Coach Schneider underwent surgery to remove an aortic aneurysm.

Coach Schneider said, “After consulting with my doctors and family I have decided I should resign as coach of the Thoroughbreds.”  Schneider faces an extended period of cardiac rehab to regain his strength which could last from six months to a year.

NCCHS Principal Bob Noll expressed his gratitude and respect for Coach Schneider saying, “His commitment to not only our football program but our entire school is phenominal.  He has dedicated his life to the Catholic education of so many students through his coaching and teaching.  He was instrumental in helping our school to begin our tuition assistance program.  He has impacted the lives of so many young people over the years.  He exemplifies the ideals and traditions of Newport Central Catholic.  He is truly a legend.”

Coach Schneider expressed his thanks to all of his past and present coaching staffs.  He said, “I am grateful to all the young men I have had the honor of coaching over the years and to all those who coached along side of me.”

BANNER YEAR FOR THE 'BREDS

12/28/05

At the Newport Central Catholic football awards banquet on Wednesday, senior quarterback Sam Diehl received a list of the 14 team records he set during his three-year varsity career.  Diehl set most of those records this season, but he down-played his personal achievements.  "The only thing that matters is we won state," he said.  Diehl had a lot to do with NewCath winning its first Class A state championship this season.  In addition to passing for 2,502 yards and 37 touchdowns, he rushed for 416 yards and nine TDs.  That's why he was voted Class A-AA Offensive Player of the Year in a local coaches poll conducted by The Kentucky Post, but he wasn't the only member of the NewCath team who came out on top in the balloting.  Justin Smith was voted Defensive Player of the Year.  He made 141 tackles at defensive ends for the Thoroughbreds.  Bob Schneider was voted Coach of the Year.  He broke the state record for career wins (302) and won his second state title in his 40th season at NewCath.  The Thoroughbreds played their best football of the season during the Class A playoffs.  They won their last five games by an average margin of 33.8 points.  Schneider said shorter, less strenuous practices during those final five weeks of the season helped his players keep a high energy level.  "Anybody watching us at the end had to be impressed with the way our kids played," Schneider said.  "It was just amazing that we could play that way throughout the payoffs."
