Wescott makes minor changes in first year as Girard coach “Webb, a leaper for his size, was used on the inside,” Wescott said. “He was a little fireball. ... a crowd pleaser.”
The Trojans had two more seniors in 6-3 Brandon Callaway and 5-8 Trey Scallions. “All of the players understood their roles,” Wescott said. Dave Wutke and Tommy Hartzfeld assisted Wescott. Heatherly, who tossed in 60 treys, Poppe and Kelly were double-figure scorers for the Trojans. “J.D. and Eric, who had 31 treys, kept the defenses honest,” Wescott said. Heatherly, who averaged 13.7, scored 904 career points to miss joining Poppe and Kelly with more than 1,000. Rodney Alan Wescott, a native of Chanute, will be 38 on July 27. He’s a product of Altoona-Midway High School, Neosho County Community College and Pittsburg State. Wescott began coaching during college with a two-year stint at Pittsburg Middle School. He then moved to Northeast, assisting Pat Paske for one season, before serving 12 years as head coach. “It wasn’t an easy decision,” Wescott said of the move from Northeast (currently in the CNC). “We’d made a lot of good friends. “But the opportunity came up and we talked it over as a family,” Wescott said. The Girard and Northeast schools are about 12 miles apart, Wescott said. Rod and wife Lynette, who teaches at Pittsburg Middle School, have two children — Leah, 8, and Kyle, 7.
