The Red Hawks will have a new boys basketball coach next winter.

Troy Athens coach Dave Scott has retired from coaching the program according to Stephen Bell on X and also the Troy Athens website.

Scott has been at Troy Athens since 2011 taking over for legendary coach Bill Gerbie. He went 147-158 coaching the Red Hawk boys for 14 years. Scott won a district crown in 2013 and in 2014 falling to Clarkston in the regional semifinal that season. He also coached the girls from 2007-2010 winning a district title.

"It's been a privilege to coach at Athens for 17 seasons. I want to thank our tremendous teaching administrative, custodial, and secretarial staff for making this such an amazing place to coach at. I want to thank the families and parents who have entrusted me with their student-athletes and most of all I want to thank the countless players who have come through our program. It has been these relationships, more than the victories, and championships that have made coaching at Athens so fulfilling" Scott said in a press release.

The Red Hawks will have Nathan Piggott, Liam Dempsey, Nate Appledorn, Brendan Tucker, and Alex Beaubien coming back for the new coach. Troy Athens went 14-9 tying for second in the White. The Red Hawks fell 63-58 to Troy last season.

It will be very interesting to see who takes over at Troy Athens next season.
