Creager named Springboro’s AD

Staff Report

SPRINGBORO — A longtime Springboro Community City Schools teacher and coach has been hired as the district’s new athletic director. Rick Creager was hired Monday night during a special school board meeting.

Creager, a business teacher at the high school, was inducted into the Springboro Hall of Fame in February in recognition for coaching high school girls softball and basketball teams in Springboro.

In 22 seasons, Creager, often with his wife Samantha as a volunteer assistant, led Panthers girls basketball teams to a 343-148 record.

Creager replaces Troy Holtrey, Springboro’s boys basketball coach for the past 20 seasons and who served three years as athletic director.
