On Wednesday, Mount Healthy High School announced the hiring of a new boys basketball coach and athletic director.
Mount Healthy named Ty Cass as its next boys basketball coach, saying in a press release that he will begin practices in July to abide by new Ohio High School Athletic Association rules on when preseason sessions can begin.
Coach Cass hopes to positively impact the boys on the team through athletics as well as in the classroom, the release said.
Cass comes from Aiken, where he spent the last 11 seasons, first as an assistant for six years, the final five as a varsity assistant under Leon Ellison. He was named Aiken's head coach prior to the 2016-17 season when Ellison went to Princeton.
