Dothan High filled two coaching vacancies on Tuesday night when Karie Striplin was approved as the new volleyball coach and Jonathan Deveridge was approved as the new girls basketball coach
Deveridge, who has been the Abbeville boys basketball coach for the past three years, replaces DiShon Benjamin, while Striplin, who coached this past year at Dale County after a long stint at Geneva County, replaces Brianne Kent, who stepped away from coaching and teaching.“One thing that interested me was that Coach Deveridge said he actually prefers coaching girls," Noble said.
“It was a hard decision to leave Abbeville … it took a lot prayer and lot of consultation from some mentors, but in the end I just felt like it was a good fit and I decided to apply.”“When I coach, I never really view them as boys or girls … I just look at them as basketball players,” Deveridge said.
After spending eight years at Geneva County, where she served as volleyball, girls basketball and track and field coach, Striplin returned to her alma mater of Dale County to lead the Warriors’ volleyball program last year.
