Meet the Coach





If you think you know Ms. Stimatze, think again! Ms. Stimatze is the eighth grade girls Kingman Middle School basketball coach. Although she has only coached two years at this school, she has coached altogether ten years at Dodge City, Santana, and Kiowa, Colorado. She thinks that the players have been improving this year. She thinks both seventh and eighth grade will place high in the tournament this year. She has been involved with athletes her whole life, but it all started in Macksville Grade School and High School. She likes to coach because she likes to be able to teach young ones to play. Other than coaching, she is an art teacher, mom, and a grandmother. She is also a volleyball coach and she used to coach track. If she had to give up coaching, she would like to travel to new places. Now you know a little more about the basketball coach, Ms. Stimatze.
