He is volunteering his time, according to athletic director Nick Magistrale. “It’s cool to watch [my sons] progress,” Galloway said. “My job is to facilitate whatever they want to do, so it’s fun to be able to coach them, watch them grow and watch them get into things that they want to do.” Michael, a junior, is Scioto’s leading receiver with 39 catches for 617 yards and five touchdowns entering Week 8 . Jett, a freshman, has split time at quarterback with junior Liam Rinehart, completing 43 of 95 passes for 602 yards and five TDs with two interceptions. “[Playing on varsity] was always the goal [for this season],” Jett
