Josh Pickens-Assistant Varsity Coach

I am very excited to work with Josh again. He is an outstanding leader and will be another great role model for our players. Josh was a starting guard for us both years that I coached at Rockford Jefferson H.S. In his Junior year, we won the school's first ever conference title. The following season, Josh helped lead us to a 4th place finish in the state in Class AA. We lost in the semi-finals to eventual state champion Glenbrook North. Jon Scheyer who currently plays at Duke was a member of that Glenbrook North team.
