Kinder to coach Leopold boys

Shawn Kinder, who recently resigned as Delta boys basektball coach, has accepted the Leopold boys basketball coaching position.

"It was just a career move from my standpoint," Kinder said. "I felt like for my coaching career it was the best move for me."

Kinder said the Leopold board has approved his hiring. He added the Delta board still needs to accept his resignation.

"[Leopold] is a school that gets good support from the community, and I felt at this time it fits my position and situation the best," Kinder said.

Kinder was the Bobcats coach for the past five seasons. He is a 1998 graduate of Delta.

"It's tough leaving the kids," Kinder said. "The school means a lot to me and especially the staff. There was no reason that pushed me away really. It was just that I felt at this time this was the best time for me to make a career change."
