Avon Welcomes Corey Taylor as New Boys Basketball Coach

Exciting changes are stirring at Avon High School as the community embraces its new boys basketball head coach, Corey Taylor. This announcement has generated quite a buzz among students, parents, and coaching staff alike. After a successful interim coaching stint at Ben Davis, Taylor is ready to tackle his new role at Avon with enthusiasm and dedication.

A Winning Track Record

Coach Taylor’s recent accomplishments are nothing short of impressive. During the 2023-24 season as interim coach at Ben Davis, he led the team to a remarkable 23-6 record and guided them all the way to the Class 4A state finals. Such achievements demonstrate not only his ability to develop winning strategies but also his knack for fostering teamwork and resilience among young athletes.

Leadership and Vision

As the announcement comes from Avon’s athletic director, Jason Young, there’s a sense of optimism that Taylor’s experience and commitment will greatly benefit the student-athletes. Young believes that Taylor’s unique blend of skill, knowledge, and passion for basketball will inspire the players to reach greater heights both on and off the court.

Stepping into Big Shoes

Corey Taylor takes the helm after the resignation of Drew Schauss, who recently accepted a coaching position at Kokomo High School. It’s never easy for a program to see a transition in leadership, but with Taylor’s strong background, there’s great hope for a smooth shift. Having previously served as an assistant coach at Ben Davis, he was part of the team during their undefeated state title season in 2022-23, which gives him invaluable experience in managing high-stakes situations.

A Rich Coaching Background

Before making his mark at Ben Davis, Taylor built a solid foundation as an assistant coach at both Champaign Central and Noblesville. His diverse coaching experiences over the years equipped him with the skills necessary to connect with players from different backgrounds and ensure their overall development as athletes and individuals.

Looking Ahead to the Season

Fans and followers of the Avon boys basketball team have reason to be excited for the upcoming season. Despite losing several key players from last year’s impressive 20-4 season, the team will see the return of leading scorers, seniors Keriawn Berry and Jedidiah Minnett. As they step back onto the court under Taylor’s guidance, there is hope that their experience and leadership will help bridge the gap left by the departed senior class.

Community Support

The Avon community has a history of rallying behind its sports teams, and this transition appears to be the perfect opportunity to strengthen community ties. As fans come together to support their student-athletes, the combination of Coach Taylor’s leadership and the supportive environment provided by parents and fans will likely foster a successful season for the boys basketball team.

Final Thoughts

As Corey Taylor gears up to guide the Avon High School boys basketball team, the excitement is palpable. With a determined coach at the helm and a promising group of players ready to embrace the challenge, the upcoming season looks bright. As the first game approaches, both players and fans can’t wait to see what’s in store and how the new coach will shape the program’s future. Here’s to a thrilling season ahead!
