posted 11/11/2011 BALLARD'S NEW HEAD COACH SARA WETSTONE
The fire is back in Ballard High School Women’s Basketball! As soon as new head coach Sara Wetstone, received the phone call saying she had the job, Wetstone went right to work. Since last April, she and her staff have been working day in and day out to get this program back to where it once was.
A three-sport athlete in high school, Sara earned twelve letters (soccer, softball and basketball) at Lakeside School in Seattle. Point guard and co-captain in basketball, her team went 96-1 in her last three seasons, winning two State titles, ranked #12 in the nation by USA Today and named Team of the Century by The Seattle Times. She was named Lakeside Female Athlete of the Year at graduation (’94) and was the Student Body President.
Sara earned her BA in Philosophy from Princeton University, where she was a two year co-captain on the women's basketball team. Post-graduation, she played and coached professionally in Denmark. After a career-ending knee injury, she returned home to Seattle where she coached the Seattle Community College women's basketball team and was named NWAACC North Division’s Coach of the Year in her first season. Sara holds a MA in Applied Behavioral Science from Bastyr University's Leadership Institute of Seattle with a focus in Coaching and Consulting in Organizations. Currently, she facilitates experiential-based team building workshops and retreats. Sara and her husband Justin have two small boys and live in Ballard.
Ballard’s Athletic Director Carrie Burr is very excited to have Wetstone as the head coach. “I have a lot of respect for Sara and how she coaches her teams. Her players not only receive top notch instruction but become better human beings. Having coached against her, I am thrilled that Sara is finally not the opposition and is now part of the Beaver Nation!”
“I’m thrilled to be coaching at Ballard. With an amazing school and team staff, supportive parents and hard-working student-athletes, we are primed for a re-emergence of greatness in the girls basketball program. I’m looking forward to seeing these girls step into their own potential, get tough, and experience the magic of teamwork.”
