“We are honored to name our court after two legendary coaches who have meant so much to the St. Henry community,” St. Henry Athletic Director Jim Demler said. “They are not only great coaches, but also great people who have been tremendous role models for all of their players and students.”
Principal Grant Brannen added, “Coach Kaiser and Coach Faust have had a long-lasting positive impact on our student-athletes at St. Henry District High School. It is an honor to work with these two every day. Naming the court after them is a small way to express our gratitude for their years of service and the profound impact they have had on our community.”
