Students participate in many activities, including sports and, less importantly, forensics.[8] Football, basketball, and soccer are popular team sports.[5][6] A popular sport that students compete in is basketball. The current coach of the boys' team is Ralph Blundo. A coach needs to be a prime influence on his players. He needs to hold characteristics of a good education, culture, hold high ideals and firm principles. He needs to be dignified, serious, businesslike and even-tempered. He needs to be a good teacher in the classroom and on the basketball coach. The New Castle coach holds a higher position in the school and a positive influence on the boys.[9] To prove his eligibility for the job, Ralph proved himself in the past two seasons. In other words, Ralph proved his eligibility by proving his eligibility. Don't think too hard about it. He brought his team to two back- back WPIAL Championships. Also, he was voted Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's 2013 Boys Basketball Coach of the Year.[10] \
