The trophy case at Northern High School
The trophy case at Northern High School is filled with district and regional championships, state titles, and All-American honors.
Despite this rich history,replicatagheuer-blog Northern hasn’t raised a state championship banner since 1995, when the girls basketball and wrestling teams both won titles.
The school is anxious to return to its glory days.
Northern is opening up the head coaching positions for boys and girls basketball — along with bowling and wrestling. While no one has been officially fired, the school is keeping its options open for fresh talent who may want to fill the role.etareplicawatcheshop
All of the previous coaches will be forced to reapply and be re-evaluated if they want to keep their jobs.
“We just want to see what’s out there as far as coaching,watches127 and it’s nothing with the (current) coaches at all,” Northern’s athletic director Jamie Foster said. “It’s just something we decided to do to kind of shake things up.”
Shaking up the basketball programs, which have produced multiple state titles over the years, is most notable.
Varsity boys basketball coach Thomas Tucker, who had a 46-45 record over the past four years and led his team to the district finals each season, said he won’t return.
“Times have changed, and expectations have not,” said Tucker. “It takes not only a coach, but a good person to deal with some of the challenges that we have to face coaching, and I’m not trying to bash anybody.
“I’m sure Northern at one time was one of the best high school coaching jobs in the state, but talent is saturated. We’ve lost a tremendous amount of athletes to other school districts, and you’re going to have kids that transfer.cheaplvwatches”
Last year, the Vikings finished 10-12 after falling to Saginaw High in the district finals.
Tucker was the head varsity girls basketball coach at Central for eight years before relocating to Northern.
He’s helped more than 30 athletes gain college scholarships and said he won’t stop helping young players. But he has no intention of coaching again in Flint.
“I will continue to help kids get into college, because that’s what it’s all about. It’s a travesty that I have to do it from an outside entity, but I will do it,” Tucker said.replicawatch119
Longtime girls varsity basketball coach Leteia Hughley also has resigned.
Hughley had coached the Vikings since 1993 and earned her place among the area’s most successful coaches.
