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.”

EXCELLENCE IN SPORTSMANSHIP
October, 2008

Newport Central Catholic recently received recognition by the
KHSAA for
Excellence in
Sportsmanship. An
excerpt from the KHSAA monthly newsletter read in part, "These
schools promoted good sportsmanship and distinguished themselves
during the 2007-08 school year. Not one member of their teams or
coaching staff was ejected from any contest during the entire
school year. In a time in our society where there appears to be
an erosion in the values of teamwork, fair play, citizenship and
sportsmanship, these schools are to be commended for encouraging
their school community to walk the walk in this area."

BANNER YEAR FOR THE 'BREDS

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."
