ROCKY RIVER, Ohio - Mike Sislowski has been hired as the new girls basketball coach at Rocky River.
Sislowski, 33 and an Olmsted Falls resident, has coached girls basketball the past two seasons at Rocky River Middle School. He also has been a varsity assistant football coach for the Pirates and at North Ridgeville and a varsity boys basketball assistant coach at North Ridgeville.
