Dan McKeown to be named boys basketball coach at Boardman

If being a former player of Frank Beck is any measure for those who have gone on to coach basketball at Boardman High, Dan McKeown is destined for success.

Ron Moschella, for example, is a former Beck player who has posted over 500 wins as Boardman’s girls coach.

Moschella last played for Beck at Ursuline in 1967-68. McKeown last played for Beck in 1980-81.

Now that McKeown has taken the reins of Boardman’s boys basketball program, the Beck effect may follow.

McKeown, who served as Boardman’s freshman coach for the last three years, is expected to be approved by the Board of Education on June 28.
