Andover coach Maglio loses football, baseball jobs
Ken Maglio has been pushed out as both head football and head varsity baseball coaches at Andover High School. Maglio was contacted today, receiving a notice from AD Chris Bergeron. "I'm totally surprised. I have no idea where it's coming from," said Maglio, after opening day of his Andover Warriors Baseball School. Most importantly, he's not looking to step down. Maglio, a retired educator with nearly 40 years of coaching in the system, will go to the legal process to protect both jobs. Tom Meyers, president of the Andover Education Association, noted: "We're absolutely shocked at this whole action. We intend to litigate, to defend Ken's position. We feel like we will litigate to get him reinstated. "The practice in Andover has been to re-appoint individuals as coaches. If there's a problem, it's supposed to be raised with the coaches. All of Ken's evaluations have been positive." Maglio, whose baseball team went 12-10 this spring (1-1 in the state tourney), has gone 252-131 in his 17 seasons in the Warrior dugout (.658 winning percentage) with a couple of sectional title. His Warrior football team went 4-7 this fall. Much more on this as the news breaks.
