Zac Harris has been selected as head coach of the NOAH boys varsity basketball team.
The 24-year-old Harris is a former NOAH player (1998 to 2003) who earned Most Valuable Player honors as a guard while playing for the Jaguars at the 2003 National Christian Homeschool Basketball Championships.
Harris has continued his involvement with the NOAH basketball program in recent seasons, volunteering in a variety of positions including junior varsity head coach, junior high head coach, varsity assistant coach, and junior high assistant coach.
“It is an honor to be selected as the head basketball coach for NOAH. I have enjoyed playing and coaching for NOAH, and I am truly excited to continue to build on what NOAH has already accomplished as a program,” Harris said.
NOAH Basketball Athletic Director Terry Tush is pleased that Harris has accepted the boys varsity coaching position.
“Zac has been around the NOAH program since its inception in 1998, and has witnessed firsthand its growth over the years to where today there are nearly 500 homeschool students involved in a number of sports,” Tush said.
“Zac believes that NOAH is a ministry for Christ and believes that God has great things in store for the future. He is dedicated to teaching the game of basketball to his players, but more importantly instilling in them Godly character traits and values that will last a lifetime. Zac is going to do a great job in leading the NOAH basketball program.”
High school and junior high boys who are interested in playing for NOAH during the 2009-10 basketball season will have the opportunity to meet Harris at an informational meeting on Monday, June 1. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at Springs of Grace Bible Church (7123 E. 7th Street in Tulsa, located between Sheridan and Memorial just north of 11th Street).
Returning NOAH players and those who are considering playing for NOAH for the first time are encouraged to attend, and will have the opportunity to visit with Harris.
