Rumrey connected to Phoenix, Sweet Home
I imagine former North Medford football coach Rod Rumrey will be an interested spectator when Sweet Home plays Phoenix in the Class 4A quarterfinals at 1 p.m. Saturday at Spiegelberg Stadium.
Rumrey coached Sweet Home to the 1987 state championship in football and his Husky baseball team was state runner-up in 1988, shortly before he took over at [...]

“Wish we were, that’s for sure,” he sent in a text message.
He was one of the players I tried to reach for comment when the news came down a week ago, but he’d been on a [...]
