Hello, everyone! I'm Coach Gowen, and I'm incredibly honored to serve as the head girls basketball coach here at Cascade Middle School. With nine years of coaching experience under my belt, along with teaching at Cascade, I've had the privilege of witnessing the transformative power of athletics in the lives of young athletes.

My journey in sports began during my high school years, where I dedicated myself to both varsity volleyball and basketball. Those experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for the values of teamwork, dedication, and perseverance that are so integral to sports.

As a coach, my primary goal is to not only teach the fundamentals of the game but also to inspire and empower my athletes to reach their full potential, both on and off the court. I believe that sports provide a unique opportunity for personal growth and development, and I'm committed to helping each player cultivate their skills and confidence as they navigate their athletic journey.

In addition to basketball, I've also had the privilege of coaching volleyball and track and field here at Cascade. Each sport brings its own set of challenges and rewards, but what remains constant is my passion for coaching and my dedication to the growth and well-being of my athletes.

As we gear up for another exciting season, I couldn't be more excited to work with this talented group of girls. Together, let's embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and continue to strive for excellence both on and off the court. Go Cougars
