Bo Burkhart named Washington HS basketball head coach; Hawkins steps down at Heritage Hills
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – There have been quite a few high school coaching changes, in the Tri-State lately, and that trend continued on Friday, updates at Heritage Hills and Washington high schools.
First, at Heritage Hills, boys basketball head coach Nate Hawkins announced he is stepping down. He spent nine years at the helm of the Patriots, and had plenty of success, notching two sectional championships.
Over at Bosse, a familiar face will be departing for a new gig. Bo Burkhart, the son of the Bulldogs’ head coach Shane Burkhart, will head to Washington, to become the head coach of the Hatchets, replacing the legendary, Gene Miiller.
Bo Burkhart served as an assistant under his father, for a couple years, and before that, he was an assistant at Xavier University. The Washington job, will be the younger Burkhart’s first head coaching job.
Congrats to the Burkhart family, and good luck to Coach Hawkins, in his future endeavors.
