LAKE FOREST ― Girls Varsity basketball head coach Kyle Wilhelm announced on Monday that he has stepped down as head coach of the Scouts after nine seasons with the team.

The past 9 years as the head coach at LFHS has been an incredible experience. At this time, I need to step away so I have more time with my family. I will never forget the bonds and relationships formed. I am extremely proud of everything we have accomplished.
