Yesterday, we said Tom McGeoy was recommeded to be the new Pottsville football coach.

Today, he has the position.

According to the Pottsville Republican, the 30-year-old?McGeoy, who played against several Lehigh Valley schools during his his?high school career with the?Crimson Tide and then played at Lehigh from 2000-03 ?was approved by the school board on Wednesday night.

He will replace?Kevin Keating, who was not rehired after a 2-8 season in 2012. Keating had a 24-year career at Pottsville, spread over two stints.

In his second stint, which covered the last 10 seasons, Pottsville was 72-48, reached the postseason eight times, won three district championships and reached the state finals in both 2005 and 2006.

McGeoy, who was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2010, is a middle school teacher in the district and also the JV basketball coach.

"This is something that I always dreamed about doing," McGeoy told the Republican on Wednesday night.

"It all happened so fast. I put my name in the last day of applications, and the next Saturday they're telling me that they're hiring me as the head coach."
