He had success in his first job at Greensburg Central Catholic, but then made a gigantic impact in Jayhawk country – Jeannette High School. Under Mucci, Jeannette won three WPIAL championships in 1971, ’81 and ’83 and finished as runner-up two other times. The Jayhawks were undefeated three times. His teams were always juggernauts, especially on defense. During Mucci’s 18 years at Jeannette, the Jayhawks allowed only 8.8 points a game. During his time at Jeannette, Mucci also was the school’s athletic director. Mucci is a graduate of Derry High School and went on to St. Vincent, where he is a member of the school’s sports Hall of Fame.
