Dodge County seeks boys basketball coach
Coaching one team is enough. Casandra Hamilton took on double duty at Dodge County for 2019-20, coaching the girls and boys teams.
She assumed the duties on the boys team after Tim Flowers, hired to replace Robert Cotton after he left for Southwest, was unable for administrative reasons to maintain the job.
But that’s likely a one-year workload.
