The new Purple Rider mentor won four letters in basketball while starring for the Stone Creek Panthers. He was named to the All-County cage team one year and received honorable mention on another occasion. Teaching on a temporary certificate while continuing his study toward a degree at Kent State University. Pfeiffer has been director of music at Port Washington for the past two years and will continue in that capacity in addition to coaching. He has also attended the collage of Wooster and Heidelberg College where he was a member of the Student Prince freshman basketball squad. Pfeiffer's employment at Port Washington leaves only one coaching vacancy in the county, Mineral City, still searching for a replacement for Bob Penrod who resigned.
