“It’s going to be weird seeing someone else on the sidelines,” Berticevich said about Pioneer. “We have a good group of kids coming back. The program’s in a great place. Whoever takes it over is going to have a great group of kids to coach.”“Obviously I played at that level and really like this level,” Berticevich added. “From afar, I’ve had opportunities to coach at this level and I have turned ‘em down just because I know the time commitment and what it takes.
