New Girls Basketball Coach In Strongsville

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Strongsville City Schools has named a new varsity girls basketball coach at the high school. Carl Walcher will lead the team next season.

“We are excited to have Coach Walcher join our Mustangs coaching staff. He has outstanding basketball knowledge and the right approach to working with student-athletes. Coach Walcher is also highly connected in the basketball community and has great experience building youth programs, which will be a tremendous asset to this program,” said Andy Jalwan, Strongsville High School athletic director.

Walcher has been a coach for 32 years. He was most recently the varsity assistant coach for the boys basketball team at Medina High School, a position he held for five years. He was previously the head varsity girls basketball coach at Trinity High and spent time with the girls basketball programs at Normandy, Medina and Valley Forge.

"When the Strongsville varsity girls basketball coaching position became available, it immediately got my attention. It is a special situation, one of a few that I would consider, especially having to leave a great position with Medina boys basketball. This is a group of outstanding young student-athletes with a passion to be great. Strongsville is an outstanding community and is really supportive and passionate about their high school sports teams. I am very excited and grateful to be chosen as the next head coach of these young ladies. With our program, it's not all about basketball. It's about having fun, making great memories, serving our community, while maintaining a winning culture. We will make the community proud of who we are on and off the court," said Walcher.
