Central Catholic High School announced this week that Luke Hickey will take the helm of its varsity basketball program beginning next season.
Hickey’s résumé includes a 49‑24 record over the past three years at Lake High School, where he turned a struggling program into a contender, capturing two sectional titles and guiding the team to a district championship game appearance.
A Proven Leader Takes the Reins
He will replace Mike Floyd, who guided Central Catholic to a 23‑4 season and a Division III state semifinal appearance in 2025‑26, a run that ended a 23‑year drought.
Hickey, a Whitmer High School graduate and Bluffton University alumnus, holds a bachelor’s degree in education and has spent the last decade coaching at the high school level, including a year as JV head coach and three years as a varsity assistant at Lake.
School officials praised his blend of tactical acumen and commitment to student‑athlete development, noting his recent selection as District 7 Division IV Coach of the Year for 2025‑26 as evidence of his impact.
