Jeremy Landram resigns as River Ridge boys basketball coach

After six seasons as head coach of the River Ridge boys baskeball team, Jeremy Landram has resigned, he said Saturday.

River Ridge was Landram's first head coaching job. He went 106-46 in six seasons, guiding the Hawks to five state appearances and five 2A Evergreen Conference titles. This past season, River Ridge went 17-7 overall and were co-champions of the EvCo with North Thurston.

Prior to Landram's arrival in 2006, the boys basketball program only state appearance came in 2001. Under Landram, the Hawks earned two third-place finishes at the 2A state tournament -- in 2007 and '09.

Landram, a Chewelah native and former guard at Saint Martin's University, becomes the fifth boys basketball coach in the area to step down this off-season, joining Jamie Berg (Black Hills), Mike Tafoya (Timberline), Mark Jensen (Shelton), and Josh Frunz (Rainier).
