CANTON — Canton softball got on the field for their first scrimmage on Wednesday, and it wasn’t their only first of the season as new head coach, Darryl Jannone, coached his first action, as well.
“When Keri (Wesneski) graduated Lyle (Wesneski) moved on so, having graduated from Canton in 1985, I was trained by some of the best back then,” explained Jannone. “Jake Shaffer, Jim Reed, Denny Foust. Here, while I’ve been a staff member, I’ve been working with Lyle, Sheila (Wesneski), Casey Aylesworth, Tyler Sechrist - other good coaches - and we always have our local legend, Bob Rockwell. With their influence I decided to go ahead and apply for the head coach.”
The Warriors took on their league rivals, NEB, during their scrimmage on Wednesday as they prepare for their season opener at the end of next week.
