As much as I will miss working with ouryoung men in practices and games and watching their growth each day, I feel that it’stime to step away so that I am better able to devote more time to my responsibilities as athletic director as well as to my family. My family and I have a lifetime of great basketball memories, and we look forward to celebrating more exciting moments with our Cougar family in the years to come.” states Piercey.

An immediate search has begun for the next head coach of the high school boys basketball team.
