Mansfield Tiger fans will see new coaches at court-side when basketball season rolls around in late Fall. The Mansfield school board voted 4-1 to hire Joshua Brown as the senior high boys coach, and a 5-0 vote to hire Ethan Bowman as the senior high girls coach during a special meeting held on June 22.
Last season, Brown led the Waldron Sr. Bulldogs to a 26-7 record with an Elite 8 finish in the 3A State Tournament.
Known for his charismatic personality, Brown will bring a high impact, fast paced style of play to the Tigers court.
Bowman, a College of the Ozarks graduate makes his way onto the 2A courts after finding success in coaching AAU summer league (off season) basketball.
As a high school basketball stand-out, Bowman will bring youthful enthusiasm to a proven and tested Lady Tiger team.
Keith Stovall will be moved to assistant coach of both Sr. boys, and Sr. girls teams.
Josh Bryan resigned from his position at Sr. girls team Tuesday. See related story
