(Aurora, Ind.) – A former South Dearborn High School basketball standout is set to take over the Lady Knights program.

Julie Messmore was approved as the next head coach of the girls varsity basketball team on Tuesday. The school board voted 7-0 in favor of promoting Messmore to head coach.

She has spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach under Darryl Gibbs.
