IILWACO, Wash. - Chris Andrews has replaced Westin Wallace as Waitsburg High School's head basketball coach. Wallace resigned after taking a teaching position in Reardan, Washington.
Andrews previously coached the Waitsburg middle school boys. He worked with Wallace to ensure the high school boys could attend a summer basketball camp in Ilwaco. Using funds raised through various fundraising efforts and a generous donation from the Waitsburg Lions Club, the team was set.
Eight of the team's student-athletes attended the camp from June 29 through July 2.
"One of the biggest highlights was how competitive our young group remained while facing older varsity teams. Despite having a very limited bench and playing seven games over four days, our players consistently demonstrated resilience and determination. They never gave up and competed hard in every game against teams with significantly greater depth," said Andrews.
