Brewer High School announced the hiring of new head basketball coaches for its boys and girls varsity teams Wednesday.
Carl Parker has been named the new boys varsity basketball head coach, while Tanna Ross was selected as the varsity girls basketball head coach.
Parker has coached at Maine Central Institute, Lee Academy, Nokomis, Bangor and most recently Old Town as the junior varsity head coach for the last three seasons.
The Witches are coming off their first state basketball championship, a Class A victory over Falmouth under head coach Ben Goodwin.
Ross replaces Chad LaBree as head coach of the girls basketball team.
Brewer Superintendent Greg Palmer said the administration “felt it was time to hand the program over to someone who works in the district and has walked in these girls’ shoes as a local high school basketball player and someone who played at a very high level collegiately at the University of Maine.”
