MONROE - If Jeff Newcomer knew one thing for sure in his life, it was that he belonged in athletics. He loved sports as a youngster, excelled through college and then knew he needed to make it his career. That need was about to take him thousands of miles away, but instead, things seemingly fell into place at the last minute and have kept him in Monroe, his longtime home, doing exactly what he loves and being a big part of the community that had a hand in raising him.
