After Kimberly boys’ basketball coach Jon Murphy announced his retirement, there was plenty of anticipation about who would succeed him. Now, it’s official: former Wisconsin Badgers basketball standout Freddie Owens is stepping in to lead the Papermakers.
“Freddie is grounded in the values and principles that we firmly believe in at Kimberly,” Athletic Director Ryan McGinnis said in a press release. “His background and perspective will add tremendous value to our program and community. His basketball background, in particular, is extremely impressive, and the communication skills and passion he brings will benefit our kids and community.
