A familiar face will return to the bench for the Neshannock High baseball program.

John Quahliero, who resigned as the Lancers’ coach following the 2021 season, was re-hired to the position on Monday night. His resignation was accepted by the Neshannock School Board at its June meeting.

“Some dynamics on my end, that led to my retirement, have altered a bit,” Quahliero said. “I had the full support of my wife of 24 years, Cybill. That’s important. As a result, I am able to make a full commitment to the program once again.

“So, I contacted our administration to see if it was too late to rescind. Fortunately, my position was still vacant. I will be taking over the varsity baseball head coaching duties at Neshannock effective immediately.”

Neshannock finished 13-9 during the spring, placing third in WPIAL Section 2-2A play. The Lancers advanced to the district playoffs, knocking off Burgettstown, 4-3, in the opening round. However, Neshannock’s season came to an end with an 8-0 loss to Shenango in the WPIAL quarterfinals.

“I feel like I have some unfinished business to take care of at a program that has been a vital part of my life and that I care so deeply about,” Quahliero said.

Quahliero, a longtime Neshannock assistant, was hired in 2020 to replace veteran coach Mike Kirkwood, but no games were played that season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
