Ryan Yarosik has been elevated to head coach of the Latrobe Wildcats boys basketball team, taking the reins after a distinguished decade as an assistant under Brad Wetzel.
Yarosik, who has taught health and physical education at Penn‑Trafford for 21 years, brings deep roots to the program and a commitment to preserving its fast‑paced style while introducing modest adjustments.
The Wildcats, steeped in tradition and bolstered by a passionate alumni base, will open their doors to community gym sessions next week, inviting players to reconvene ahead of the upcoming season.
Key contributors such as Dom Scarton, Alex Amond, Mikey Monios and Ryan Linhart are expected to return, providing continuity and experience as the squad looks to build on recent successes.
A New Era for Latrobe Wildcats
Yarosik’s vision centers on maintaining the high‑tempo offense that defined the team’s recent play, while fine‑tuning strategies to adapt to evolving competition.
With the support of alumni and the broader community, the new head coach aims to honor the program’s legacy and steer the Wildcats toward another competitive chapter.
