Southwell Makes Coaching Jump to Big Ten
Southwell’s climbing the ranks since his playing days
Shane Southwell, a decorated player throughout NYC during his days at Rice High School, has steadily climbed the college coaching ranks.
With coaching stops at Robert Morris, Kansas State (Southwell’s alma mater), and most recently, Northern Illinois, the Harlem native is now on to his next coaching opportunity.
In June, it was announced that Southwell has been hired as an Assistant Coach at Northwestern University of the Big Ten Conference.
A former player with a coaching pedigree and strong connection to his NYC roots, we’re excited to see the impact that Southwell can make in Chicago.
Turnage Named Head Coach at Holy Cross HS
Major shakeup in the CHSAA as Turnage is appointed Head Coach at Holy Cross
Billy Turnage is set to become the next Boy’s Varsity Basketball Head Coach at Holy Cross High School, according to a press release from the school. He returns to Flushing, NY where he attended school and played for the team for three seasons. Turnage also served as an Assistant Coach at Holy Cross upon graduating college.
Most recently Turnage spent the past 18 seasons at Wings Academy in The Bronx where he has won 12 Bronx Borough PSAL Championships. In 2015, the team won both PSAL and NYS Federation Class AA Championships.
Turnage and Wings have competed in the Gotham Hoops Classic over the years. In their first appearance in 2019, they lost a hard fought battle to Holy Cross in Queens. The team also participated this past season, defeating PSAL-foe Brooklyn Collegiate (NY) before falling to Benjamin Cardozo (NY) in their second game.
The St. Albans, NY native has recruited and coached countless college prospects during his time at Wings. Expect the same for Holy Cross moving forward.
