PARKER CITY, Ind. — Following speculation that Leigh Ann Barga might not be retained as girls basketball coach, the Monroe Central school board voted 3-2 to keep her in that position on Tuesday evening.
Players, parents and program backers filled the seats inside the Millennium Room at Monroe Central, with several more standing in support of the coach who led the Golden Bears to a 25-1 record last year – including the first perfect regular season in program history. There were even folks from nearby schools there awaiting the decision.
The room was anxious as Barga’s name flashed onto the powerpoint along with the other sports appointments.
