FROM KEITH GROLLER
Ryan Wehr, a 2003 Parkland High graduate who has been an assistant and JV coach at Emmaus over the last five years, has been named the new boys basketball coach at Brandywine Heights. Wehr replaces Ben Tannous, who resigned to become the coach Southern Lehigh coach.
Wehr never played varsity basketball at Parkland -- "It was tough competing with Chris Huber, Eddie Ohlson, Tim Cadden and those guys who had so much success there during and shortly after my time," he said -- but was still intricately involved with the game. He coached the North Parkland Athletic Association cadet team (6th and 7th graders) during his junior and senior years of high school.
Rich Fatzinger gave Wehr his first coaching opportunity as a varsity assistant at Parkland in 2007-08. He then spent the last five seasons at Emmaus with Steve Yoder, coaching the first three years as a JV and varsity assistant and then the last two as head JV coach. He had summertime success with the Emmaus JVs. He guided the team to one Stellar Construction and two SportsFest crowns.
He earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Penn State in 2007 and earned a masters degree in special education from Lehigh in 2010. He is currently teaching at Brandywine, recently finishing his third year as the emotional support teacher.
He is excited about the opportunity to run his own program at Brandywine and believes it's a plus to be in the same building.
The Bullets will be entered in both of next month's major summer tournaments at Cedar Beach with the Stellar tournament coming first from July 11-14.
