Wayne Brunke has taught in the Delmont and Scotland school districts for a combined total of 33 years. During that time, he coached all levels of girls and boys basketball, leaving a lasting impact on countless student-athletes.
Wayne coached with passion, always striving to help each and every player perform at their fullest potential. He found great satisfaction in seeing players demonstrate the skills taught under his guidance.

Congratulations, Coach Brunke, on this well-deserved honor! 🏀👏
