Coaching Change for 2024-25
Coach Andy Armbruster will be stepping down as the Falls City girl’s head basketball coach prior to the 2024-2025 season to focus on his commitments outside of basketball. Coach Armbruster has been a head coach at the junior high and high school level for the past 6 years. Coach Armbruster compiled 48 wins as the high school girl’s coach during his 4-year tenure. We want to thank coach Armbruster for his hard work and continued involvement with our girls’ basketball program. Coach Armbruster plans to remain on the staff as an assistant for the upcoming season. Taking the helm for the Lady Tigers will be former Tiger boy’s head coach and girl’s assistant Don Hogue. Coach Hogue brings an extensive coaching resume including 23 years of head coaching experience and 296 wins with the boys’ program. Coach Hogue will be sending out summer development opportunities for our 7-12 girl athletes this week.
CORRECTION: the youth volleyball camp will be held Tuesday June 11th and Wednesday the 12th. So sorry for this confusion.
