Howe Bulldogs Head Basketball Coach Mike Segleski.
Coaches always press the importance of being a team player and sacrificing something for the greater good or the bigger picture. This time, it was Mike Segleski who has showcased first-hand what that means. When football season ended, Howe Athletic Director Bill Jehling made a head coaching change at the boys varsity basketball level and he asked if Segleski, his football defensive coordinator if he could fill in and take up the role. Segleski made the commitment to do so all (Continued on page 5)
