We wanted to make you all aware of some recent changes with the GCLE organization. As of last evening, during their Board meeting (which was not announced/posted on their page), the following events occurred:
*Head football coaches for the Senior and Junior teams, Dave Say and Shane Salmon, have resigned from their positions on the Board and as Head Coaches for the GCLE. Both Dave and Shane have accepted coaching positions with the GCMFC 2020 season. GCMFC is part of the Shenango Valley Football League, which consists of teams within Mercer County. The high school football team plays against some of these schools.
* Other current board members decided to resign immediately after lastnight's meeting due to allegations made by other board members during discussions. These false accusations by some current board members were targeting prior coaching staff.
* An open meeting between the two boards (GCLE and GCMFC) along with the public was discussed. While nothing has been scheduled at this time, this meeting should take place sooner rather than later. Discussions need to be had regarding how each team would like to proceed and what an attainable goal could be.
Part of the purpose of this page is to keep total transparency with the community regarding the things that are taking place within the leagues. Our community deserves to be heard.
More information will follow.
