Londonderry High School could approve its new head coach at the Londonderry School Board meeting Tuesday night.

One New Hampshire athletic director said he heard that Jon Rich, a former Londonderry player, is the choice and is awaiting approval. Rich served as an assistant coach on Tom Sawyer's Londonderry staff last season.

Sawyer, who began coaching football at Londonderry in 1980, retired after Londonderry's loss to Nashua South in last year's Division I semifinals. His teams were 182-90 and won six state championships (two in Division I and four in Division II) during his tenure.

According to a story published in the Nashua Telegraph last month, there were 22 applicants for the Londonderry job.
