Ephrata Athletic Director Tommy Long announced late last week that he is leaving his post at EHS to take over that same position in the Annville-Cleona School District.

Long, who is in his sixth year at Ephrata, will succeed Karen Evans, who recently left the Lebanon-area school to take an assistant principal position at Manheim Township. Long will assume some principal duties, in addition to his new A.D. responsibilities.

The Lebanon Catholic grad, who lives five minutes from Annville-Cleona High School, cited his proximity to the school as one of the biggest reasons for making the move.
