A New Chapter for South County Basketball
Adam Johnson has been named the new head coach of the South County boys' basketball team, inheriting a program that emerged from the recent merger of the Waverly and Franklin schools.
Johnson previously served as the last head coach of the Waverly Scotties before the consolidation and spent the past two years as an assistant under Dave Suits, gaining intimate knowledge of the combined roster.
His hiring was approved by both the Franklin and Waverly school boards, reflecting a coordinated effort to ensure continuity and stability as the Vipers move forward.
He replaces Josh Krumwiede, who coached the Vipers for two seasons before accepting a position at Routt, marking the end of a brief but eventful tenure.
The transition coincides with a renewed focus on blending the traditions of the South County Vipers, whose online presence can be found at southcountyviper.com, and the historic Waverly Scotties, referenced at waverlyscotties.com, as they aim to build a competitive future.
