Girls Varsity Basketball

A proud Reardan alum, Scott Krupke brings years of experience after coaching our MS
Girls basketball program and a HS volunteer coach at State B this past spring to his new
role as Reardan High School Girls Assistant Flex Coach. Coach Krupke’s deep
understanding of the game, strong leadership, and commitment to developing young
athletes make him an excellent addition to the Reardan coaching staff. His dedication to
Reardan athletics and passion for teaching the fundamentals of basketball will help guide the program to continued growth and success.

It’s exciting to be back coaching again for the Reardan-Edwall School District. After graduating from St. John-Endicott High School in 1990, I attended college at Eastern Washington University to participate in both basketball and track & field. After two years at Eastern, I transferred to Whitworth University to continue participating in basketball and track & field. My first coaching experience began in 1994, coaching an AAU team in Otis Orchards, WA. Also in the mid-90s, I started a track & field program at Sprague-Harrington High School as well as became an assistant basketball coach. I coached both track & field and basketball at Sprague-Harrington through 1997. In 1994, after a few years at Whitworth University and a few changes in my area of study, I transferred back to Eastern Washington University to join their Education program. In 1998, I took my first full-time teaching and coaching positions at Woodburn High School in Woodburn, Oregon, which is 30 minutes south of Portland. I began as an assistant coach for football and basketball for one year and then received the head basketball position my second year. Also, during my second year, I assisted with the high school baseball program. In 2004, my family and I decided to come back to our roots, which is when I landed a teaching and coaching job at Reardan High School. I coached multiple sports here (basketball, track & field, and football), beginning in 2004. In 2009, I began a club basketball program, Spokane Legacy Basketball. I started this program specifically for small-town athletes because they didn’t realize these opportunities existed. I coached and operated Spokane Legacy Basketball from 2009 through 2019. In 2011, I decided to be a fan of my children, Shaye (graduated in 2016) and Sienna (graduated in 2018), who attended and graduated from Lakeside High School. My oldest daughter began high school in 2012, so it was a perfect transition point for me to resign from coaching at Reardan High School after the 2011 season and support my own children. When Covid closed schools and athletics in the spring of 2019, it was a good time to transition from coaching club basketball, which was typically April through July, to spending time with my family and chasing my children.
