Boro Grid Assistant New Coach at Graham
Springboro High School defensive coordinator Nic Black has been named the new head football coach at Graham.
He replaces Steve Graves who was forced out after three seasons — 4-6 in 2008, 2-8 in 2006 and ‘07 (8-22 overall).
The energetic Black came to Boro with head coach Ryan Wilhite three years ago. They helped steer the Panthers to back-to-back Greater Western Ohio Conference South crowns. Black’s stout defense earned the monicker “Springboro Stonewall”.
Said Wilhite: “Nic is a driver, he’s focused and locked in as a coach. He does it all with a passion. He squeezes 65 seconds out of a minute.”
Black was a finalist for the Monroe head coaching job last summer and had applied for several head coaching vacancies.
Black, a former Piqua standout, counts Indians head coach Bill Nees among his major influences.
“I learned the value of a work ethic and toughness as a player from Coach Nees,” Black said. “I admire the way he treats his players.”
