Russell County High School Class of 2011 alumnus Martin Cross was recently promoted to the position of assistant coach for the Western Kentucky University Men’s Basketball team.
“Martin has been a part of our program for the last six years where he’s showed tremendous work ethic and loyalty,” WKU head coach Rick Stansbury said. “I truly think he’s a young coach that will continue to move up in this profession.”
“From growing up cheering in the stands of Diddle Arena to now – I can truly say this is a dream come true,” Cross said. “I have great respect and admiration for the tradition of this program, and I could not be more thankful to continue being a part of carrying it on.”
This upcoming season will be the 8th season for Cross as a member of the staff for WKU Basketball.
