Akal takes over as head boys basketball coach and will remain head coach of defending 13th region champions girls team as well.

Eager to see how that pans out coaching both teams.

Good coach but this will be a very difficult position. Hard enough coaching 1 team, much less 2!

[JerryGarcia]

Gonna be tough to pull this off I agree. Hope it all works out

It is a 1 year arrangement. After seeing Jordan Brock and Bianchi through their senior season, he will then become the boys head coach full time.

I look for Jennifer Parsons to become the girls coach after next year.

Derrick Akai is a good coach but coaching two teams isn't good for the boys in 2016/17 season. ( I hope I'm wrong ) I played for a great highschool coach my sophomore year at Leslie County he took on the task coaching both boys and girls team. Boys team got invited to the girls pre-meal once in awhile. The old saying give me a 110% for both boys and girls or don't do it. Good luck on this journey!!! :worthy::worthy::worthy:

He's a good guy

[Justsayin]

He will do a great job. One of the few coaches that has remained consistent through his time and coached for the kids not the crowd.

[E's Army]

Hard to put the energy needed into both girls and boys.

One of the top two girls coaches in the region, and even better person. But this will be reaalllyyyy hard to pull off. As one who always pulls for the underdog I'm wishing nothing but success.
