News & Notes

There is a chance Kings could name a new girls’ basketball coach by the last week of April, Kings athletic director Matt Koenig said Friday.

The athletic department has received up to 18 applications as of Friday (April 6) and Koenig said resumes will be accepted until Tuesday (April 10).

“My committee will review the resumes on April 16 (after our spring break is over) and begin interviews at the end of that week and hopefully have a coach in place by the last week of April,” Koenig said.

Koenig said he is looking for an individual who is willing to be visible not only at the high school level, but at the junior high and youth levels.

“The new head coach will need to make it a priority to reach out to those kids and parents so they have something to look forward to when they get to high school,” Koenig said.

Koenig added the summer camps will be emphasized in order to improve the level of basketball throughout the school system.

“We have a great setup (and) support system among our parents and it is a matter of finding someone who can put the pieces of the puzzle together to build a championship program,” Koenig said.

Katie Treherne resigned as girls’ basketball coach in late March. Kings was 10-11 this past season. Treherne was 98-54 in seven seasons with the Knights.

Three Badin football players have made decisions on where they will continue their education and athletic careers, Badin coach David Wirth said.

Defensive back Josh Alcorn and running back Robert Urmston have committed to Thomas More College. Offensive tackle Charlie Hartkemeyer has committed to Wittenberg.

Alcorn was an All-Greater Catholic League, all-district and honorable mention all-state selection. Urmston was an all-league selection. Hartkemeyer was injured in Week 5 and was out the remainder of the season.

Badin finished 7-3 overall, 5-2 in the GCL Central division. The Rams won four consecutive games to end the season.

“I am excited about next season and our freshman class coming in is a great one,” Wirth said.
