Whitehead resigns as Buckeye girls coach to pursue teaching
Lynnae Whitehead resigns after three seasons guiding Buckeye girls basketball to a 22-43 mark to take a seventh grade social studies teaching position at Memorial Middle School in Mentor. She will be a varsity assistant at Mentor High next season and considered college assistant options before staying local. The Bucks youth program saw growth under her leadership, though no one applied for the head job, and athletic director Tom Harrington seeks long-term candidates.
