    “I have been blessed in my life,” Brisker said.  “I’ve had wonderful and positive parents, professional colleagues in the OHSAA and tremendous mentors along the way.”  He especially noted his years at Canal Winchester, where “my first principal, Bill McCann, because the guiding force in my educational career.”

Roger D. Thompson
1940-2007

The Southeast District Athletic Board is mourning the recent loss of long time board member and Treasurer Roger D. Thompson. Roger had served the Southeast District for 33 years. He also served four (4) terms on the OHSAA Board of Control. Following his retirement as Assistant Superintendent of the Athens City School District Roger continued to serve the Southeast Board, first as Secretary/Treasurer and finally as Treasurer.

Roger spent his life serving kids, both students and student-athletes. He was a teacher, coach, administrator and also found time to officiate both football and basketball. As tributes poured in following his passing two of Roger's traits stood front and center. One was his keen sense of humor. Roger enjoyed a good laugh. Those closest to him understood that he could dish out a joke and also take one. Secondly, and more importantly, was Roger's genuine kindness to others. He was kind and compassionate to all. Roger radiated a true goodness, a caring spirit that endeared him to friend and foe alike. The Board lost a devoted Treasurer and the entire Southeast District lost a friend. He will be missed.

The family has established the Roger Thompson Scholarship in his memory. The scholarship will be awarded annually to a worthy student-athlete in the Southeast District. Contributions may be made via current board Treasurer Rick Edwards.
