He leaves Rockville High after posting a 16-15 record over three seasons.
The Kevin Bernot era at Rockville High School has come to an end after just three seasons. Col. Zadok Magruder High School Athletic Director Karl Heimbach confirmed that the Rockville head football coach and 1990 Sherwood High School graduate has accepted the vacant head coaching position at Magruder. Rockville Athletic Director Mike Hayes said that Bernot met with players on Thursday to tell them that he was leaving the program. “He’s a good guy, he did great stuff for us at Rockville,” Hayes said. “He’s a good coach and people like him so it’s always sad to see people like that go.” An official announcement on the hiring is expected to be made on Monday, Heimbach said.

Judge: “It's time for the community to heal.”
A judge sentenced a Rockville man on Thursday to 20 years in prison for driving the car involved in a crash in Olney that killed a Col. Zadok Magruder High School senior and two graduates in May.

Colonels have a new coach and new leaders for 2011-2012 season.
If you are a fan of high school wrestling in the county, you could count on two things from Magruder for the past decade. First, that Max Sartoph would be in the coaches corner barking instructions to his wrestlers. And second, that there would be a Tolbert wrestling on the mat. However, that all is changing in the 2011-2012 season. Last spring, after the season ended, Sartoph decided to retire from wrestling, saying he wanted to try new things.
