Rogersville has its new boys basketball coach, and that coach will enjoy a homecoming of sorts.
Local product Mitch McHenry has been tabbed to lead the Wildcats in the 2016-2017 season. McHenry steps in for coach Rod Gorman, who retired after 20 seasons at Rogersville.
McHenry joins the same faculty as his father, Rogersville girls basketball coach Denny McHenry.
“I grew up watching my dad be a head basketball coach,” Mitch McHenry said, and then added a joke. “It’s going to be interesting when we have to fight over gym time.”
What’s more, Matt McHenry is finishing up his junior year at Rogersville having played basketball for Gorman’s Wildcats this year.
