Stan Kowalewski’s ORMA Basketball Coaching Decision

The following is the statement from former Oak Ridge Military Academy boy’s basketball coach Stan Kowalewski:

Parents and Friends,

After 17 years of sacrificing my time with my family by coaching other people’s
kids and helping them reach their goals, I have decided that I need to spend the
rest of my coaching days with my own children and insure that they can reach all
of their goals. I am thrilled with the hundreds of student-athletes that we
have helped get to college and become solid members of their communities. Our
basketball family has become immense and I cherish those times and will continue to enjoy those relationships that we have created going forward. But now, it is important as a parent that I make a selfish decision and give as much time and effort to my own children’s athletic development as I have done for so many others. You don’t get time back and I don’t want to have any regrets later in life that I missed out on my children’s experiences. Therefore it is with a
heavy heart that I tender my resignation as basketball coach at Oak Ridge
Military Academy.

I would like to thank my entire coaching staff for their loyalty, support and
sacrifices over the years to help our players reach their goals. I would also
like to thank the administration and faculty at Oak Ridge Military Academy for
their support and efforts to restore the school to greatness. I would also like
to thank my family for allowing me to coach so many young men over the past
several years and to hopefully make a difference in their lives.

Finally, I thank the parents for their support of our basketball program and Oak
Ridge Military Academy and I will do whatever it takes to insure that our
seniors get to college and underclassmen are best prepared for the rest of this
school year and beyond.

Best regards,

Stan
