Pickerington Athletics: Bo Hanson, Molly Feesler moving on from AD roles at Central, North
ThisWeek group
Both Pickerington high schools will have new athletics directors next fall, although their moves were determined before the recent failure of a bond issue that would have led to improvements at both facilities.
Central athletics director Bo Hanson will take the same job at Heath, and North’s Molly Feesler will take over at Thomas Worthington pending school board approval.
Feesler has been at North since 2012. Hanson came to Central in 2018.
Feesler, who accepted the Thomas position April 23, will succeed Jen Goebbel, who has been athletics director since 2017 and will return to teaching this fall.

Mick Price, Ravenswood’s long-time head boys basketball coach, remembers Ellis Booth’s tremendous desire on the basketball court and off.
Booth not only played basketball but also competed in football and baseball while at Ravenswood High, where he graduated in 1983.
His love for athletics would carry him throughout his life.
Professionally, he became a highly-successful principal and athletic director with the bulk of his career being spent at Health High School in Ohio’s Licking County, about 30 minutes from Columbus.
The school and community have been in mourning the last few days following Booth’s passing due to complications from COVID-19 on Dec. 5.
