Lafayette High School is already in search of new boys’ basketball coach and now they will have to look for a girls’ basketball coach as well.
Ryan Madison has stepped down as the head coach of the Fighting Irish to become the head girls’ basketball coach at Bolivar High School.
Madison spent eight years on the northside and he led the Lafayette girls to six consecutive winning seasons. They made two appearances in the district championship game and Madison finished 124-82 with the Irish and was 29-27 in MEC play.
Madison will take over a Bolivar team that went 17-9 this past season and lost to West Plains in the district semifinals.
Ryan Nichols, who spent just two years as they boys’ basketball coach at Lafayette, stepped down earlier this month to take the boys’ basketball job at West Platte High School.
