A third boys basketball head coaching position opened up recently.

Kentlake boys basketball coach Ron Charrier will not return next season, explained the school’s Athletic Director Bruce Rick, in an email interview.

“Ron’s contract was not renewed,” Rick wrote. “We felt it was time for new leadership within the program, because we feel the program can reach a more competitive level than where it’s been in recent years.”

Charrier most recently led the Falcons to the playoffs after winning a tiebreaker to earn the fourth seed out of the South Puget Sound League North division.

Kent-Meridian knocked Kentlake out of the playoffs in the district tournament in February.

The Falcons finished the season 11-14 overall.

Kentwood’s boys basketball head coaching position opened up when Brian Davis resigned earlier this month after two years at the helm of that program while Rob Morrow, coach at Tahoma High, resigned from both his teaching and coaching jobs on Feb. 14. Both Morrow and Davis are Kent-Meridian graduates.

Rick said he plans to have the position at Kentlake before students return from spring break in mid-April.
