Kevin Weakley Named Head Girls Basketball Coach

photo credit: original photo courtesy of The Columbus Dispatch files.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2024 — St. Francis DeSales High School is pleased to announce the hiring of Kevin Weakley as the next Head Coach of our Girls Basketball program!

Coach Weakley spent twenty-two years leading the Worthington Christian boys basketball program, with an impressive 383-161 overall record which included state runner-up finishes in 2008 (Division IV) and 2020 (Division III). He also served as the Director of Athletics at Worthington Christian from 2006-2023. Weakley is a 1995 graduate of Worthington Christian HS, where he played basketball, leading his team to a Division IV State Runner-Up finish in his senior season.

His playing career continued at Otterbein College under legendary coach Dick Reynolds. Kevin started in all 25 games during his freshman season for the Cardinals averaging eight points, four assists, and two steals per game. In his senior season (1998-99), he went on to earn first team All-OAC, first team All-Great Lakes Region, and first team All-America from the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He led the OAC in scoring at 23.3 points per game, set an OAC single-season record with 100 made three-pointers, and was voted the Regional Player of the Year.

Weakley finished his college journey with 1,666 points, 569 assists and 256 steals. He made 230 of 602 (.382) attempts from behind the arc, and converted over 80 percent on free throws at 332 of 412. The lead guard ranks seventh on the Otterbein all-time scoring list and still holds the OAC record for most steals in a career.

Kevin was inducted into the Otterbein University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2021.

Kevin and his wife Anne Marie have three children; Katherine, Megan and Grant who is a sophomore at DeSales and a member of the Boys Basketball Program. Coach Weakley served as an assistant coach for the Boys Basketball Program at SFD during the 2023-24 season.

The St. Francis DeSales Athletic Department is happy to welcome Rob Sangster as our next Ice Hockey Coach!

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY, 24TH, 2024 — St. Francis DeSales High School is thrilled to announce the appointment of Rob Sangster as the new Head Ice Hockey Coach. With an impressive coaching background and a wealth of experience in the hockey world, Coach Sangster is poised to rebuild the St. Francis DeSales Stallions to new heights in the upcoming seasons.

Coach Rob Sangster brings with him a rich history of success in coaching, having previously served as the head coach at Olentangy and St. Charles. During his 11 seasons at St. Charles, he achieved a milestone of over 250 wins and guided the Cardinals to the 2014 State Final Four. His strategic approach, leadership skills, and dedication to player development make him an ideal fit for the St. Francis DeSales hockey program.

Not only does Coach Sangster have an outstanding coaching track record, but he also boasts an impressive playing career. Drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in 1989 with the 155th overall pick, he went on to play professionally for 7 years in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), International Hockey League (IHL), and East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). His on-ice experience at a professional level will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and skill development of the St. Francis DeSales student-athletes.

St. Francis DeSales High School is confident that Coach Rob Sangster will bring a winning mentality, passion for the game, and a commitment to fostering a positive and competitive team culture. The school community eagerly anticipates the impact he will have on the players and the program as a whole.

Please join us in welcoming Coach Rob Sangster to the St. Francis DeSales family!
