Rootstown High School announced on Friday morning that it is seeking qualified candidates for its boys basketball head coaching position.

The Rovers’ program had been led by Cody Calhoun for the previous five seasons and posted a record of 34-77.

“I want to thank our players, parents, administration and community for the past five years,” Calhoun said. “I started as a 25 year old and have been so fortunate to learn from so many while building lasting relationships. There are tons of moments that I will remember form the past five years. I appreciated this opportunity, and again, thank to everyone involved.”

As part of the announcement, Rootstown included that it has teaching positions available. The deadline to apply is May 12.

Interested candidates are invited to send a letter of interest and resume to athletic director Keith Waesch at 4190 S.R. 44, Rootstown, Ohio, 44272 or by email to waesch@roversk12.org.
