Lisbon girls basketball coach resigns
Trending
LISBON -- Lisbon is without a head girls basketball coach just 13 days before the season is set to begin.
Girls basketball coach Nikki Meek’s resignation was accepted by the Lisbon Board of Education on Thursday. She said the reason was family and health issues.
Meek was set to start her third season as Lisbon head coach and was at the Devils’ photo day on Monday. Lisbon has 10 girls out for the team and has one assistant -- Nigel Spann.
Lisbon athletic director Kyle Bing said for now Spann will lead the team but a permanent decision on what will happen with the head coaching position is a ways off.
“We knew this way a possibility coming into the season, but we have all the faith in Spann,” Bing said. “He’s been around and he knows what he’s doing.”
The Devils have only one starter back in Bridgett Newbold and have no seniors.
Lisbon’s first scheduled contest is set for Nov. 25 at Leetonia. There will be no jayvee game.
