He was one of the founding

Kiski Area High School girls for the first two years of the program and
then assisted with the boy's program for one year.
Magee was the director of coaching

The following year, IUP won the
first of its two straight PSAC West titles. In 2006, the Crimson
Hawks reached the finals of the PSAC tournament and won an NCAA
