Ellwood City hires state championship-winning coach to lead boys' basketball program
Ellwood City has found its new head boys’ basketball coach.
The Ellwood City Area School District announced Friday that its board of directors had hired Scott Dibble to lead its boys’ basketball program. This news comes almost three months after former head coach Steve Antuono resigned from the position in March after six seasons with the WPIAL Class 3A Wolverines.
Dibble joins the Ellwood City — or Lincoln High School — athletics department after several years of success leading girls’ basketball programs. He most recently spent time at Bishop Canevin, where served as the head girls’ basketball coach for two years and two years as an assistant coach prior to that before stepping down in 2019. The Crusaders won the WPIAL Class 3A title and finished as the PIAA runner-up with Dibble at the helm in 2018.
Dibble also spent three seasons as the head girls’ basketball coach at New Castle and 11 at Erie powerhouse Villa Maria Academy. While at Villa Maria, he led the District 10 Victors to back-to-back PIAA Class 2A titles in 2009 and 2010 and five PIAA championship game appearances. He compiled an overall record of 267-55 with the Victors before resigning from his role in 2011.
