Cheney girls basketball coach resigns

Rex Casner, coach of the 4A-state-champion Cheney girls basketball team has resigned his teaching and coaching position for personal reasons, Cheney athletic director Dustin McEwen confirmed this afternoon.

According to McEwen, Casner will devote himself full time to the machine shop he currently runs in Cheney.

McEwen also said a search is in progress for a replacement.

Cheney snapped Concordia's 51-game win streak (52-49) in the state championship final in March.

Casner taught business at Cheney.
