2:30 P.M. — West Springfield Names New DSA

The Connection Newspapers on Andrew Muir's Hiring: http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/article.asp?article=317898&paper=61&cat=105

West Springfield can't seem to keep a solid director of student activities, which doesn't make sense given the nature of the school's strong athletics. Granted, there have been murmurs about parents being unhappy with facilities and calling for Fairfax County to spend money on upgrades, but the Spartans are pulling from some of the strongest demographics. Tim O'Reilly, the former Thomas Jefferson football coach, left after two years for family reasons.

And is Muir the answer? Maybe and maybe not. At least he gets a chance to try, though a field hockey coach, and he was a good one, is not the natural background for an administrator. Whatever it takes to get here.
