In other sports in the region:
* George Washington High School of Danville has hired Chris Carter as its new boys' basketball coach.
Carter, an Eagles' assistant coach the past three years, follows Harry Johnson, who announced before this past season that he was retiring after 17 years.
The GW job is considered one of the best in the state. Carter had been the favorite, but in the last month, Laurel Park's Frank Scott had moved in as a finalist. Carter got the nod from a committee that included students, faculty members and other coaches from GW.
Johnson closed out his career in story-book fashion as the Eagles won their first boys' Group AAA championship.
Carter, who has been an assistant at several other schools, also coached girls' basketball for two years at GW before becoming as Johnson's assistant.
