Long time Newport Central Catholic High School Basketball Coach Ron Dawn announced his resignation as the head coach of the Thoroughbreds.

 

Dawn, a 1974 graduate of Newport Catholic and standout basketball player, began his coaching career at NCC with the boys basketball program in 1980. He was named the NCC boys’ head coach in 1990. After a five year break to follow his son’s college basketball career, he resumed coaching duties at NCC. He was named the girls’ head coach in 2009, a post he held for four seasons. In 2013, Coach Dawn returned to the boys’ basketball program adding three more All “A” Classic State Titles to his list of successes.

 

This 2015-2016 season ended with a 9th Region Championship where his team made it to the semifinals in the KHSAA State Tournament.

 

Coach Dawn is the only coach in the state to win an All “A” State Championship in both boys and girls basketball. Additionally, he is the only 9th Region Coach to win a regional title for both the boys and girls. Coach Dawn retires with 495 career victories.

I'm old enough to have seen Ron play ball in high school. Remember him playing for NC in the 9th region tourney at Conner. His hair game is as strong today as it was in 1974.
