Hoosac Valley Girls Coach Not Asked to Return in 2020-21

Hoosac Valley High School's principal Wednesday declined to discuss the reason why the school's very successful varsity girls basketball coach will not be returning for an 11th season.

Late Tuesday night, The Berkshire Eagle reported that Ron Wojcik, who led the Hurricanes to seven Western Massachusetts titles and the last two state championships, will not be offered a contract for the 2020-21 season.

Wojcik on Wednesday confirmed that he was not offered a chance to help the Hurricanes defend the co-state championship they were awarded when this March's state title game was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He also said that, like all high school coaches, he understands that the positions are hired "at will," and that schools do not have to show cause to remove coaches at any time.
