By The Way: Alma Hired A New Girls' Basketball Coach

[AT]

Codey Mann. He has been coaching Russellville boys' basketball since 2011 I believe?

Also, Russellville has a boys' basketball head coaching position open.

Couple of notes:

1. Although it never made it to the boards, Coach Madelyn Flenor was reassigned to the technology department less than a month after basketball season ended.

2. Coach Mann actually started running the dribble drive offense after Alma won the Russellville tournament 3 years in a row.

3. Alma now has two former Van Buren boys' basketball standouts as their head coaches of boys and girls basketball.

4. Dribble Drive is life.

Will this new coach bring in more interest to the girls in Alma to play?

Will this new coach bring in more interest to the girls in Alma to play?

I think he will initially bring interest at the very least.

Any word on how the girls are generally liking him at this point or if they are signed up for any summer basketball camps?

Yes, Yes, Yes - kids absolutely love him!  He's the kind of coach, who can get pretty intense in games & practice, but his players absolutely love / respect him and will lay it all out on the court for him..  Alma - you got a good one!
