Conference Boys Basketball Championship,
Jeremiah Hoffmann. WLA Activities Director Brad Bendix released the
following statement to KFIZ via email.
“Coach Hoffmann will be replaced starting
with this next season.
The decision wasn’t based on one
particular thing. As I worked with him, I decided to make a change as I
thought it was in the best interest of the basketball program going forward.
Jeremiah served WLA well for his 8
plus years here. He advanced the Boys Program during that time and we are
better for it. He has been a role model for many young men, including
this year’s fantastic team. He is a good man with a good family. I wish
him and his family God’s blessings going forward. “
