A new head coach has been chosen for the Marietta High School girls’ varsity basketball team.
Derrick DeWitt comes to the Marietta City School System after a seven-year tenure with Sequoyah High School in Canton where he led the girls basketball team to the state playoffs for six consecutive years.
“Two things that stand out immediately about Coach DeWitt are his enthusiasm for working with young people and his commitment to doing things with integrity,” said Craig McKinney, athletic director for the Marietta City School System. “His personality and value system fit the culture of the Marietta basketball program.”
