Lake girls basketball coach Maurice Bowie is headed home.
Bowie announced on Monday that he was leaving Lake and taking the boys basketball job at Morton High School, his alma matter.
Bowie proved his coaching prowess this past season as he led Lake to the Class 2A state championship, beating Belmont 46-44 in the finals.
Bowie led Lake to a 24-3 record last season and was looking forward to the upcoming season.
“It means a great deal to me, to this team and this community,” Bowie said after winning the 2A title. “It’s been a 21-year drought since Lake won a state championship. And we have a lot of kids returning. We won’t sneak up any anyone this year but we have a good core coming back.”
