The Johnston City school board hired Scott Burzynski as their new head HS boys basketball coach.
Burzynski. a 1992 gradate of Sesser-Valier, still holds the record for being the schools all time leading scorer. He went on to have a successful college career for Rich Herrin and the Southern Illinois Salukis.
He replaces Jerry Hampleman, who played for the Red Devils also in High School.
Burzynski has over 300 wins in his coaching career, guiding the Carterville Lions for seventeen years. He started his coaching career at Elverado.
There is some talent to work with, as the Indians have a loaded junior class. They should be in the thick of things in the Black Diamond East for the 2017-18 season.
