Academy at the Lakes has hired Todd Huffman to lead the varsity girls basketball program.
Huffman, a longtime college coach, replaces Karim Nohra, who stepped down from the position after six seasons.
Huffman most recently served as the assistant men’s basketball coach at Hillsborough Community College.
Huffman previously was the head women’s basketball coach the following schools: Northern New Mexico College; the University of Dubuque (Iowa); and Eastern University – St. David’s (Pennsylvania).
“Todd will bring a wealth of high-level women’s basketball coaching experience to Academy at the Lakes,” athletic director Tom Haslam said in a release. “We feel confident that he’s the right coach to lead our highly successful program to even greater heights.”
Huffman takes the reins of a Wildcat program that finished as the 2016 FHSAA 2A state runner-up, and has advanced to five straight state final fours.
Audra Leipold, the team’s leading scorer (24.8 points per game), transferred to Seffner Christian Academy.
