A new era of Copan boys’ basketball is here, as the district made the announcement last week that former longtime head coach Kevin Foreman was stepping side.

Foreman returned for one season this past year after taking off the 2020-21 season.

A familiar name is taking his spot in former Oklahoma Union basketball star Kolton Stacy.

Stacy was reportedly set to take an assistants job at his alma mater, but things changed. He says he credits the Copan administration for giving him an opportunity for his first head coaching position.

Stacy says he is familiar with basketball in this part of the state, which he says should aid in his ability to run the Hornet program.

Stacy also mentioned his college basketball background as another feather in his cap that should help the Hornets.

We will have more on Copan basketball as the offseason rolls on.
