New Basketball Coach Hired At Strongsville High

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Strongsville High School has a new varsity basketball coach. Joe Guilfoyle was approved by the Strongsville Board of Education on Tuesday. He held a meeting with the community on Wednesday.

“We are pleased to have Coach Guilfoyle join Strongsville City Schools as the varsity boys basketball coach. We look forward to the plan that he has for strengthening our basketball program and setting high standards and expectations for our student athletes,” said Andy Jalwan, Strongsville High School Athletic Director.
