Thrasher Named As Brown Mackie Women's Head
Basketball Coach
Troy Thrasher has been named the
women's basketball coach at Brown Mackie College. Thrasher takes the place of
Keith Ferguson, who recently resigned to accept the same position at Barton
County Community College.
Thrasher is no stranger to Salina, having coached at Sacred Heart high school
from 2004 to 2007. He has also coached at Newton, Dodge City, and Inman high
schools. Thrasher also has assistant coaching experience at Hutchinson Community
College and the University of Dallas.
"Troy comes to Brown Mackie with enthusiasm, energy, and an extreme desire
to prove he can be successful as a head junior college coach" commented
athletic director Francis Flax. "He will have his plate full to fill out a
roster that has been depleted by the loss of 5 sophomores and 3 freshman that
will not return from this past season." "However, I have all the
confidence in the world that he will get that accomplished," added Flax.
Thrasher received an associates of art degree from Hutchinson Community College,
a bachelor of science in education from Emporia State University, and a masters
degree in sports administration from Wichita State University.
