Confirming a Daily Reporter forecast of a month ago, Ed McGlumphy, Athletic Coach at Stone Creek High two years, today announced he is resigning to become head basketball and baseball coach and assistant football mentor at Strasburg High. He will succeed Charles Caniford, high school principal who will continue as head grid coach. During McGlumphy's two years at Stone Creek, the Panther baseketball teams won 31 games, while losing only 15 despite the fact that they have the smallest enrollment in the county system. In his first season, McGlumphy directed the Panthers to 18 wins in 24 games for the best court record in the history of the school. Sparked by Ron Deibel, now at Heidelberg College, they finished in a tie for second place in the County League and won the consolation tourney title, losing 76-71 to Midvale's regional champions in the sectional playoffs. Last year, headed by Rod Reinhart, Stone Creek had a 13-9 record. Included was a 105-59 verdict over Augusta for a new school mark. A native of Martins Ferry where he was a football, basketball and baseball star, McGlumphy is a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College and taught briefly at Bridgeport before entering the Army. He accepted the Stone Creek post after being discharged in June, 1956. Mrs. McGlumphy is the former Pat Hisrich, daughter of State Rep. and Mrs. Vernon Hisrich of Stone Creek and a county nurse. The McGlumphys reside at 146 Front Avenue SW, New Philadelphia. McGlumphy is the third Strasburg coach acquired from Stone Creek. Ken Newlon, now at Canton Lincoln, coached the Panthers for seven years before taking over for two seasons at Strasburg, while Supt. Maurice R. Helwick of Strasburg is also a former Stone Creek Mentor.*
