Jack Foley: Man of the Year in Sports
Excerpts from The Village Times, published Dec. 30, 1976

"My criteria for hiring is simply, 'Would I want my kids to play for that person?'"
"[My staff is] second to none anywhere…. The most important thing I do is to motivate them."
Highlights in his career begin with total involvement in the development of the athletic program during the district's heavy growth years. Foley also developed the selective coeducational program in the high school long before other districts even thought of it. He built the finest junior high girls' program in the state before Title 9 forced others to comply, and was responsible for the hugely successful community swim program and the safest football program on the junior high level in the United States.
Given the opportunity to do it all over the same way, would you jump at it? Dr. Foley would. "I'd chart the same course a second time around. Can't think of anything I'd change."
