We are pleased to announce our West Jefferson High School Girls Basketball Head Coach, Josh Zentner.
"I am so excited to be a member of the Panther family and Panther community! I am excited to compete in this district and state. I have coached men's college basketball, club, and had a lot of fabulous seasons coaching high school girls! Coaching is in my blood and I love to see the girls grow in basketball and in life. I love working with the girls on their skills, and seeing them gain the WILL to be the best they can be! When I was the head coach in Logan, UT and Soda Springs, ID, we won district titles, played in the State Semis, and went to the State Championship game. My drive, that I get to share by coaching these girls, is to create a championship culture that the district and state will know every year that we are a team you have to contend with! I look forward to meeting the girls. LET’S GET IT STARTED!!"
