COACH OF THE YEAR

Elyria had a lot of adjusting to do, losing its veteran backcourt of Ryan Walsh and Mateo Medina. Led by Crutcher’s play, Larrick put the puzzle pieces together and got this year’s squad rolling. The SWC Coach of the Year led the Pioneers to an 18-7 record and a conference championship. It was the program’s first SWC title since joining the conference a few years ago. Losing one senior, the program’s well-positioned to make another run a year from now.
