Coughlin Unplugged Top 25 & Other Things
Submitted by Dan Coughlin on Tue, 10/06/2009 - 3:11pm
Here's the latest medical report on my old friend, Dick Zunt, 77, who covered the high school sports beat at The Plain Dealer for over 40 years until retiring a few years ago. They tell him he has an advanced case of malignant melanoma, a pretty bad cancer. They'll try radiation. He's been told chemo is not the answer.
Bill Hickey, 82, another old Plain Dealer writer, got a good report on his cancer. His recent series of chemo treatments showed positive results.
I'm feeling OK. I just got a flu shot. I can't imagine anyone out there gives a darn. Nevertheless, I'll let you know if there are any changes.
John Telich of Fox 8 sports is really feeling good. He'll get the Chuck Heaton Award at the Press Club Hall of Fame dinner later this month. It rwards a lifetime of class, dignity, compassion and saintly lifestyle. Here's what they say about Telich: He never said a bad word about anyone.
Now, to some high school football. Here's what they really mean by pay to play. Hawken visiting Independence. They're both 6-0. Tuition at Hawken is over $20,000 per year.
A sweet win for Cleveland Heights High football coach Jeff Rotsky, beating his old school, Maple Heights, which totally stunned me. Great upset.
Somebody tell The Plain Dealer they've got the wrong day and location for the St. Ed vs. Erie Cathedral Prep game. It's Friday night at Bay High School. Lakewood Stadium was busy and the Bay people agreed to rent their field to St. Ed's. Bay's artificial turf field is as nice as any I've seen.
Here's your new Cleveland area top 25 through six games.
