He has been the girls basketball coach at Russell for the last several years and was an assistant boys coach before that. The kids know him and like him and this should brings some stability to the basketball program.

I figured that was who it would be all along. Good hire I just hope that the girls program can get a good coach and stay strong.

I am also hearing that Sean Horne will be his assistant.
