Ed Kirk has taken the reins of the Beaverton High School boys basketball program, inheriting a tradition of competitiveness and community pride.
A Legacy of Success
Kirk spent eight years at Oregon Episcopal School, where his teams compiled a 132‑2 record, captured a state championship in 2020 and earned five appearances in the state tournament.
His experience, spanning more than two decades since 2001, includes a reputation for developing disciplined, high‑performing squads that thrive under pressure.
Now, Kirk looks forward to the Metro League, widely regarded as one of the state’s most competitive conferences, and is eager to test his strategies against some of Oregon’s top programs.
He acknowledges the jump from a 3A environment to the 6A classification but remains confident that his preparation and the robust support of the Beaverton community will bridge the gap.
Kirk’s daughter, a standout player at Mountainside High School, adds a personal connection to the local basketball scene, underscoring the family’s deep roots in the area.
Beyond the court, Kirk has already begun collaborating with next year’s roster during summer workouts, emphasizing chemistry and resilience as core objectives.
Community and Expectations
The Beaverton school board and parent groups have voiced strong backing, citing the program’s historic success and the coach’s proven track record as reasons to expect a swift return to contention.
With the school’s facilities, a passionate fan base, and a pipeline of talent, Kirk believes the program is well‑positioned to compete for championships in the coming seasons.
