Passing of John Hobscheid
IACO would like to share the news of the untimely passing of multi-sport and state final official John Hobscheid yesterday. John passed away from complications after back surgery. Even though he was not a member of every association…chances are that everyone has members that worked with John on a ball diamond, a football field or a basketball court at some point over the years. John was a great man who will be sorely missed.
