Oct. 2 preliminary hearing set for former East Newton coach

A 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, preliminary hearing is scheduled for former East Newton girls basketball coach Joshua Long, who is charged with three counts of statutory rape.

Long, who had only recently been hired by East Newton, resigned his position after the charges against him became public. He has previously taught and coached in the McDonald County and Carl Junction school districts.

Long is being defended by Dee Wampler, Springfield.
