Boys Basketball: Tuscarora Varsity Coach Justin Brown Steps Down

(Feb. 28, 2013) - Tuscarora High School varsity boys basketball Justin Brown, who started the Huskies program three years ago, has resigned, according to Tuscarora athletic director Derek Farrey.

In the first two seasons Tuscarora struggled, dropping 43 of 46 games, including an 0-22 first-year campaign, but this past season the Huskies went 10-8 in the Dulles District, finishing sixth out of 10 teams and ended the year with an overall 11-13 record after a .500 regular season.


Tuscarora started off this past season on a real high note as the Huskies knocked off Leesburg neighbor and eventual third place district team Heritage, 67-65. Tuscarora's good start carried into December as the team went 6-3 into January including a win over eventual fourth place and Leesburg rival Loudoun County, 51-47.

Brown's final game at the helm was interestingly enough at Potomac Falls in the Region II Division 4 quarterfinals. Some of the players Brown coached as the Panthers head freshman coach before moving over to Tuscarora helped Potomac Falls runaway with the game, 82-37.

Before two seasons as the Panthers freshman coach, Brown had been a varsity girls assistant coach at Handley for three seasons.
