Coach Eric Newton looks proudly at his team during the sports banquet.

One of the prominent reasons for the boys basketball successful 2019 season came from great coaching by Coach Newton. Coach Newton earned the SSL Coach of the year award from his successful Varsity record of 18-8. He also coached his team to first place in SSL and to the second round of the playoffs. The first time in twenty-nine years that the Taft boys basketball team has earned first place. All levels of the TUHS boys basketball teams won first place in league, which is a very impressive accomplishment.
