Gresham Community School needs a girls varsity basketball coach.
Nick Yaeger left the program last month for a similar position at Clintonville High School. Stephanie Wengelski resigned the Clintonville position in May.
After a winless (0-22) 2013-14 season, Gresham improved to 6-18 in Yaeger’s second season at the helm.
“You could definitely see improvement in the team and I believe they started to really turn the program around to being very competitive for the near future,” Gresham athletic director Jeff Zobeck said. “Our players are more skilled and knowledgeable of the game of basketball thanks to Yaeger’s time with the program.”
Gresham advanced to the WIAA Division 5 regional second round last year, where it lost, 65-19, to Gillett Secondary School.
Next year’s team should have eight letter-winners, including Sydney Jensen, who led the Wildcats with 11.3 points per game in 18 Central Wisconsin Conference-10 games as a sophomore last year.
Yeager, who is from Clintonville, served as the junior varsity boys basketball coach for four years prior to his tenure with Gresham. The Truckers finished 10-14 and fifth in the Eastern Valley Conference (8-8) last year.
Clintonville lost four seniors to graduation: guards Olivia Wagenson and Danielle Kiefer, and forwards Chrissy Betz and Allison Johnson. Etta Sorenson, Caitlin Carpenter and Autumn Voigt lead the list of girls expected to return for next year’s squad.
