After a hiatus of three seasons, girls basketball is back at Mammoth High School.
In the first tryouts for the new program, 33 girls took a stab at the nets under the watchful eye of new coach William Bauman, a 26-year-old long, tall—really tall—drink of water from Minnesota.
“Basketball is turning a corner in town,” said Bauman, who was recently married to Mammoth local John Eastman’s daughter, Danielle.
“It’s just the greatest sport ever invented.”
Bauman said he played a bit of college hoops before arriving in Mammoth, and is familiar with women’s basketball in particular.
