Former Trigg County girls basketball coach Wynn Harris is the new head coach at Garrard County, where his Lady Lions are off to a 1-2 start.
Harris coached Trigg County for four seasons from 2000-04, compiling a 37-66 record. Before coming to Trigg, Harris coached at Bardstown.
Harris quit after the 2003-04 season to spend time with his new family -- his wife and two children. Last year, Harris spent half a year as assistant middle school principal before filing for reassignment, citing health concerns.
"This was my pick," Harris told the Danville Advocate-Messeger of coming to Garrard County. "When I looked around the state, there were not a lot of programs like Garrard. They were not at the level of other programs I had taken over. We're not rebuilding, this will just be retooling."
Harris will benefit from the return of three starters from last year's 16-10 team.
"The big word for us is patience," Harris told the newspaper. "There is going to be a transition period, but in the end my system always works."
Lancaster is the county seat of Garrard County, which is located just west of Richmond and south of Lexington.
