Football: Decision was tough for MSD’s Bonheyo
Andy Bonheyo said his decision to step down as Maryland School for the
Deaf’s football coach was not an easy one to make.
He’s been wrestling with it in recent seasons despite the Orioles’
overwhelming success.
But, in the last week, Bonheyo said he “finally had the guts to do it.”
Bonheyo, 50, will stay on as MSD’s athletic director, which means he will
hire his successor.
“We should have a new coach soon,” he said in an email to the News-Post.
Bonheyo said his 11 years at the helm of the football program were very
rewarding. He led the Orioles to 10 national deaf prep championships,
including the last nine.
“I will always remember my first game as coach at MSD. We won over Maret,
20-12, on their turf,” he said. “No one thought we stood any chance of
winning that game.”
Bonheyo said he would not rule out a return to coaching.
When practice rolls around in August, he said, “I will feel strange, but I
will be around to support the next coach to assure a smooth transition. I
have confidence that the current coaching staff will continue the
excellence of our football program.”

Despite the beautiful weather yesterday and a lot of great individual
efforts by the Lady Bison’s, we were unable to come away with a
victory over the combined team of Cardinal O’Hara/Nichols. The final
score was 63-44, however, the Lady Bison’s placed first in more than
½ the events and we achieved 3 individual personal records throughout
the course of the track meet. It should also be noted that rookies,
Monica Burger and Jamila Torres really paid their dues yesterday by
pushing their bodies to their physical limit and truly gaining the
respect of their teammates, coaches, and the team they competed
against. Please come and support the girl’s track team tomorrow
morning at 10am as they host the 3rd annual Lou P. classic here at
SMSD against PSD and RSD.

Deaf Sports Trivia
Q. See past trivia below. New information is as follows:
A. Thanks to Ron Nomeland. His father was involved
in a triple play in the 1926 game against Blue Ridge
College. Bases were loaded in the first inning when
a Blue Ridge hitter whacked a line drive that first
baseman Walter Krug caught. Krug stepped on first
base for the second out and then threw to second baseman
Emory Nomeland for the third out. Gallaudet won the game
9-7.
Thanks Ron, for this valuable piece of historical
information.
