Newton South Varsity Baseball Coach Resigns: Report

NEWTON, MA – Newton South High School varsity baseball coach Ron Jordan resigned Wednesday after nine seasons with the Lions, according to a Newton TAB report.

The resignation came during a meeting with Newton South principal Dr. Joel Stembridge when it was apparent that he and the administration would not be able to agree on how to run a high school baseball program, Jordan told the TAB.

Those differences included fundraising efforts for the team, Jordan's ability to assemble his own coaching staff and a two-hour restriction on practices, the TAB reported.

Jordan, who has coached baseball for 30 years, also said in his letter that he was leaving so he could spend more time with his family, according to the TAB.
