CJ athletic director takes Fairborn post
As athletic director, Jon Payne was instrumental in Chaminade Julienne filling head football and girls basketball coaching positions at the high school this past spring.
Now, CJ needs to find a replacement for Payne.
“CJ was really good to me,” said Payne, who was approved by the Fairborn Board of Education on Thursday as its new AD.
“It was a very difficult decision.”
The Fairborn position opened when Jim Smerz left to become Beavercreek’s new AD. That job became available when Ed Zink retired as the Beavers’ AD.
Payne officially won’t start at Fairborn until July 25. However, he said that an agreement was reached that he would stay at CJ until a new AD was transitioned into the school.
Payne previously also was the AD at West Carrollton. He returned to the area and CJ last year at this time after several years in education in Indiana.
Ironically, Smerz was the longtime AD at Miamisburg when Payne was at West Carrollton.
“Hopefully, I can at least do what he’s done (at Fairborn) and maybe even a little bit more,” Payne said.
