Coach Pete Kashubara, the former assistant football coach at High Point Central High School, where he served and worked with the legend Gary Whitman, and Coach Kashubara also spent time as an assistant coach at Grimsley High School…
Pete Kashubara, is the current principal at ECG, Early College at Guilford College, and this high school/early college was voted the Top High School in America…Pete Kashubara was also the principal at Western Guilford High School, before taking over the program at ECG…
This man has turned out some outstanding high school students, but his greatest products are his sons, Nick and Zach…I used to watch Nick playing offensive line for the Kernodle Cougars Middle School team, and then Nick went on to become an All-State Offensive Lineman for the back-to-back State Champion, Grimsley Whirlies…Nick recently enrolled early at Appalachian State, and when he arrived he was at 285 pounds, and now Nick us up to 305, and there is not much fat to found on this young football champion…APP is glad to have him on board…And Spring Practice at APP is under way…
Zach Kashubara was a quarterback for the Western Guilford Hornets football team back in the day, and these days, he is playing Lacrosse at Barton College and has become one of the captains of the team…From Western Guilford to Barton University, Zach Kashubara has always been a top competitor…Nothing but the highest level of success for the Kash Kids…Nick and Zach, and their dad Coach Kash, are money in the bank….SUCCESS
Spoke with Coach Pete Kashubara by phone today, and we had a great conversation….
And we were talking about how APP was glad to have Nick Kashubara on board, well APP is having trouble keeping Makayla McClain on base…She is the top softball player for the Mountaineers, and every time you look up, she is crossing home plate…The former Providence Grove Patriot is batting at a .455 clip, with 17 home runs, and 43 RBI this season…Makayla now has 59 career home runs, and she is chasing Pete Rose Jr.’s total…Looked him up today, and McClain, no relation to the former Detroit Tiger-great Denny McLain, but the daughter of former Dudley Panther pitcher and San Diego Padres hard-throwing farmhand, Mike McClain…Makayla McClain with 59 career homers and Pete Rose Jr. with just 68 over his major league and minor league career…
Our vote going out for Makayla McClain, the APP SS, for Conference Player of the Year….She just keeps coming home, to home plate that is…Makayla with 51 runs scored in 33 games this season for APP State…Be sure to check the Makayla McClain videos on Bill Martin’s Facebook Page, and we will add in the link, later on tonight….
CLICK HERE for those Bill Martin excellent APP videos of Makayla McClain….
And it sure looks like Justin Gainey, the former Greensboro Day School Bengal point guard, is about to become the next men’s head basketball coach at N.C. State University…They say he is the best basketball player to ever attend the Greensboro Day School, and you kind of, sort of, have to think Coach Freddy Johnson would agree…I was there the night, back in the old days when N.C. State coach Herb Sendek was at GDS to watch Justin Gainey do his thing, and although Coach Sendek could not talk to us live on the radio that Friday night, off the air, he said he was very pleased with what he was seeing from the mighty Bengals….Justin Gainey has paid his dues, and we look forward to seeing what he can do there in Raleigh, as he gets ready to lead the Wolfpack…
Local folks on the fly today, and if you know of MORE making the news, let us know…
