The Washington Demon girls’ basketball team welcomes in a new coach for the 2018-19 season.

Washington named Shannon Rugg the new head coach of the girls’ basketball program earlier this summer.  Rugg has spent most of his life and career at the WACO school district, graduating high school there and coaching several different Warrior sports programs from football to softball.  Rugg says he’s excited for the opportunity to step into a new place and fill some new shoes.

“It was just time for a change,” Rugg said.  “I live here in Washington.  The opportunity was right for me, and fortunately for me, they gave me the chance to be the girls’ basketball coach here.  I’m really looking forward to it.”
