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.
