JD Heath will take over the program alongside Andrew Biele.
“We want to build a program to help young athletes achieve their dreams and teach them life lesson. It needs to be about the girls,” Heath said. “We want to make the sport less expensive for families and be able to provide tremendous value for our coaches, players and parents.”
In speaking with Andrew Biele he was excited for the future of the program and could say enough good things about Coach Schnute. “Greg has done so much for the game. He is one of the godfathers of the sport, especially here in the Southeast. He should be honored for everything he has done for the game, and the best way for JD and I to honor him is to help make the Bullets the best organization in the country. All I can tell you is no one is going to do more for their coaches and athletes than us. We have some exciting announcements coming.”
Safe to say the East Cobb Bullets program is in good hands for the future.
