Eastview Names New Girls Varsity Basketball Coach

Eastview High School has named Melissa Guebert the new head coach for its girls varsity basketball team for the 2011-12 season, according to a news release.

Guebert will replace Paul Goetz, who will remain with the team as an assistant coach but stepped down after 14 years as head coach so he could spend more time watching his son play basketball at Rosemount High School during the basketball season, the release says.

Guebert has been a traveling team coach for basketball with the Eastview Athletic Association for the past four years, the release says, coaching her teams to an 89-4 record in the past two years. She also was a high school varsity assistant coach in Conyers, GA.

She was South Dakota's Miss Basketball as a high school student, played basketball at Augustana College from 1983-87 and still is the college's all-time leading scorer in the women's basketball program. She also has a teaching background, according to the release.

The Eastview girls basketball team was 20-6 overall during the 2010-11 season, and posted a 14-4, second-place South Suburban Conference record.
