In boys basketball, Glenvar has turned to one of its own, naming alumnus Tyler Crockett as the program’s new head coach.

During his playing career, Crockett served as a three-year team captain and earned all-district, all-region and all-state honors. After graduating from Glenvar, he continued his basketball career at Randolph College, where he played under Clay Nunley, now the head coach at Roanoke College.
Crockett has spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach on Glenvar’s varsity basketball staff, helping develop student-athletes and contributing to the program’s success.
