After coaching 31 years, mainly at the middle school level, Laura Hall will take her experience to the Dayton High School girls basketball program.

Hall was named the new head coach last week, replacing Dave Hinton after he spent the last three seasons as head coach of the Lady Devils. Hinton amassed a 24-63 record over those three seasons.

On top of the experience, Hall brings a pedigree of multiple undefeated seasons, numerous Northern Kentucky Middle School Athletic Association championships and is a graduate of Dayton High School with the Class of 1986.

Dayton finished 8-21 last year. Their last season above .500 came during the 2018-19 season when Jeff Trunick was the head coach. The Lady Devils will graduate just two seniors, one of them being leading scorer Zoe Sparks. They return five of seven players that played in at least 23 games this past season.
