Former Cathedral Prep player McCloskey to coach Franklin boys basketball

Former Cathedral Prep standout Casey McCloskey has been named Franklin's head boys basketball coach.

McCloskey will replace Jason Fulmer as coach and inherit a Franklin team that went 12-10 last season.

"I'm very honored and happy to be the new head coach at Franklin," McCloskey said. "I played against (Franklin) while at Prep and had great experiences and now I'm happy to be on the other side."

McCloskey, 28, graduated from Cathedral Prep in 2003 and played in college at Allegheny. He has served as an assistant at Harbor Creek and most recently at Mercyhurst North East, while also working as a basketball operations assistant for the Erie BayHawks.

McCloskey recently earned his masters of special education from Mercyhurst and will begin student-teaching at Franklin this year.
