New Head Varsity Basketball Coach Named

The High School of Saint Thomas More announced that Anthony Figueroa has been named the new Head Varsity Basketball Coach for the Sabers. “We had a talented pool of candidates, and we’re excited to welcome Coach Figueroa into the STM family,” said Athletic Director Dan Hennessey. Figueroa was an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Millikin University from 2008-2011, and also an Assistant Varsity Boys Basketball Coach at Centennial last year. Prior to that, he gained coaching experience as an Assistant at Lackawanna College in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “Coach Figueroa brings not only great coaching experience, but as a former college player, a genuine passion for the game,” said Principal Mike Scholz. Figueroa comments, “Basketball is about hard work, discipline, responsibility, accountability, and communication. If students are successful in those areas off the court, they will be successful on the court. You can’t have one without the other. I’m excited about coaching the Sabers and am thrilled to be part of this high school which is still so very young yet so rich in tradition.” This past season, the Sabers took first place in the Schlarman Topper Classic Tournament and the Monticello Holiday Hoopla and ended the season with a record of 18-11. Go SABERS!
