You’ve seen him roaming the sidelines for many years. You’ve read his articles and his sports editorials. Sometimes you’ve probably nodded in agreement and other times winced in dissension as you took in his writings. If you’ve lived in Bureau County for any length of time, it is hard not to know of mild mannered BCR Staff Writer and Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus.

Well this season, at least at girls’ basketball games, you can watch Hieronymus in a different capacity. He will still serve as BCR sports editor and will continue to cover Bureau County sporting events. But many nights during this winter, Hieronymus will be leaving his voice recorder and laptop at the office and picking up the white board and dry erase markers as the head coach for the Princeton High School girls’ varsity basketball team.

Hieronymus made his debut (Tuesday), a quite successful one at that. His Tigresses defeated a county foe, the LaMoille Lady Lions.
