BOYS' BASKETBALL

Boys' Basketball Staff

Kyle Crowston Head Coach & 8A

Hey everyone! I'm Coach Crowston, and I'm incredibly honored to serve as the Head Boys Basketball Coach and assistant Girls Basketball Coach here at Cascade Middle School. With over two decades of teaching and coaching experience at Cascade, I bring a deep passion for athletics and a commitment to excellence to our basketball programs.

During my college years at both the University of Oregon and Portland State, I had the privilege of competing in football and baseball. Those experiences as a student-athlete taught me the value of hard work, dedication, and teamwork, skills that have been invaluable to me both on and off the court.

Back in high school, basketball was my passion, and that love for the game has stayed with me throughout my coaching career. As the head coach of the boys basketball team and assistant coach for the girls team, I'm dedicated to using my experiences as a student-athlete and coach to help our young players develop their skills and reach their full potential.

In addition to my role in basketball, I also serve as an assistant volleyball and track coach, where I continue to instill the same values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Whether it's on the court, the field, or the track, I believe in creating a positive and supportive environment where athletes can thrive and succeed.

Warren Edmondson -8B Coach

Hey everyone, I'm Coach Edmondson, and I'm proud to be a part of the Cascade Middle School community, serving as both an assistant basketball coach and the Transition Coach. With a decade of coaching experience under my belt, I've had the privilege of working with student-athletes to help them grow both on and off the court.

Over the past six years here at Cascade, I've had the opportunity to witness the incredible potential of our student-athletes firsthand. As an assistant basketball coach, I've been dedicated to helping our players build strong fundamentals and develop a deep understanding of the game. Basketball isn't just about making baskets; it's about teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, skills that are invaluable both on and off the court.

In addition to basketball, I also serve as the Head Football Coach, where I bring that same passion for coaching and mentorship to the gridiron. Football is more than just a game—it's a lesson in dedication, resilience, and the power of teamwork.

As the Transition Coach, I have the privilege of guiding our student-athletes as they navigate the transition from middle school to high school and beyond. It's a critical time in their lives, and I'm committed to providing them with the support and resources they need to succeed academically, athletically, and personally.

Ultimately, my goal as a coach is to help our student-athletes develop the skills and mindset they need to excel not only in sports but in life. Whether it's on the court, the field, or in the classroom, I'm here to support them every step of the way. Let's work together to build a strong foundation for success and create lasting memories along the journey. Go Cougars!

Everett Klodt -7B Coach

Hello, everyone! I'm Coach Everett, and I'm thrilled to be serving as an assistant basketball coach here at Cascade Middle School. With a background in coaching basketball and soccer at Union High School, as well as playing both sports during my own high school years, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to the court.

In addition to my role in athletics, I also have the privilege of serving as the Dean of Students, now entering my second year here at Cascade. It's a role that allows me to connect with students on a deeper level and support their growth both academically and personally.

As a coach, my philosophy is centered around more than just winning games—it's about helping our athletes build character, develop their skills, and learn to love the game of basketball. Sports have a unique ability to teach valuable life lessons, from teamwork and perseverance to leadership and sportsmanship, and I'm committed to instilling those values in our players.

Above all, I believe that sports should be fun. Whether we're practicing drills, running plays, or competing on game day, my goal is to create an environment where our athletes can enjoy themselves, grow as individuals, and develop a lifelong love for the game.

I'm incredibly excited to continue this journey with the talented athletes here at Cascade Middle School. Together, let's work hard, have fun, and strive for greatness both on and off the court. Go Cougars!
