Jackson
High School football coach Phil Mauro is leaving the Polar Bears after
12 seasons to take the same position at Canal Winchester, a Division
III school in southeastern Franklin County.
Mauro was 76-49 at Jackson, leading the Polar Bears to three Federal
League titles and four playoff appearances. He said the draw of a
smaller school district and the opportunity to be closer to family were
the deciding factors.
“It’s a little smaller venue, and professionally, I’m kind of
interested in that right now,” Mauro said. “My mother-in-law is 15
minutes from there, and she’s the only family I have in Ohio. We’re
pretty close, and it gives my wife a chance to see her more often.”
