The Loogootee Lions have a new head basketball coach but from a familiar source. Barr-Reeve head coach Josh Thompson is taking over the helm for the Lions. After weeks of rumors the Loogooteee School Board will make it official today in naming Thompson their choice to take over for Dave Smith.
Thompson spent eleven seasons between Springs Valley, Wood Memorial and Vincennes Lincoln amassing a record of 110 and 156. But things turned around after taking the Viking job where he went 151 and 36 in seven seasons.
Thompson will be the seventh Loogootee coach since Jack Butcher retired after the 2001-2002 season.
