(Griswold) Ryan Lockwood has enjoyed his experience as the Griswold girls basketball assistant coach so much that he’s ready to take on a bigger role.
Earlier this week the Tigers officially promoted Lockwood to the top spot on the bench. “The last three years working as an assistant with these girls they’ve been hard workers and really have a desire to keep pushing forward. I’m just happy to continue with the program in a new role. ”
Lockwood comments on the style of play he wants to see. “Our JV program last year tried out some new things to try and get a feel for them and really liked some of the things we saw with constant movement on both sides of the ball. Trying to find our identity which hopefully is in hustle and always wanting to have the ball. If the other team has it we are going to go get it and not sit back and wait on them”
The team will have to replace Brenna Rossell and Abby Tye, but has a lot of young players returning. “It’s always tough to lose those pieces, but half of our roster last this year were freshmen. It’s really good to have their experience from this past year and moving forward they are going to build that confidence and set the precedent for what we are going to be.”
Lockwood is also the head baseball coach at Griswold. He’s a Riverside graduate.
