Basketball coaching changes

At least two local basketball teams will have new coaches next season.

Matt Ponder has stepped down as boys basketball coach at Southwood. Ponder's team finished tied for fourth in District 1-5A last season and lost a game against Airline for a playoff spot.

On Thursday, Jennifer Edwards told me she would not be back as Northwood's girls basketball coach. Edwards, who also coaches track, said she may go back to school to get an advanced degree in adapted P.E.
