Just a week ago, the White County Board of Education approved the hiring of a new girls basketball coach for the coming school year.
Steve Shedd has been the Banks County girls basketball coach for the past eight seasons, and now he is ready to come to White County. WRWH Radio talked with the new coach on Monday, and Shedd says he knows there was some controversy in his selection and is thankful for being selected.
The coach said he kept quiet during the selection process, but now he wants to turn the page and move forward.
“What I want to do this point forward is definitely not look back necessary just start looking forward to the things we have ahead of us and try to develop relationships with my players,” Shedd told the radio station. “I want to develop a relationship with the parents and obviously people in the community and I would like for us from this point forward to unite.”
Coach Shedd isn’t wasting time getting things started, even though his first official day is not until June 3rd.
Shedd has already scheduled a meeting for Tuesday night, April 16, with the players and parents.
“I need to be accessible to them to let them know what my vision is and my plan is moving forward and also give them an opportunity to meet me. I’m going to bring my entire family with me,” said Shedd.
