The South Adams school board announced the hiring of Kyle Roe as the leader and coach of the boys basketball program Tuesday.
Roe recently finished his second season as the head coach of the girls team at Adams Central.
Roe is a 1997 Adams Central graduate and was a junior varsity coach at the school before taking over the girls program in July 2022. He went 13-33 in the next two seasons leading the Flying Jet girls teams.
The coach will take over for Garrett Krieg, who coached the Starfire boys for the past three season. Roe will become the fifth South Adams boys basketball coach over the past 10 seasons with Andy Brown being the only coach to stay in the position for more than three seasons during that time starting in 2011-2012 and running for six seasons. The Starfires last had a winning season in 2020-2021 when they were 15-9.
South Adams finished 0-6 and in seventh place in the ACAC last season, going 3-19 overall. Kyle Roe will attempt to help the Starfire boys capture a Sectional championship which hasn’t been done since 1993.
