From the Express News and Lorne Chan:
Steve Sylestine, who spent the past four seasons as the Stevens girls basketball coach, was named the boys coach at Clark. Sylestine, 50, has a 245-156 record in 13 seasons as a head coach. The last boys team he coached was at Jay in 1997-98. He replaces Kevin Hamilton, who left Clark after 24 years and 13 as head coach to become a Northside ISD assistant athletic director.
“Kevin’s a close friend of mine and it’s going to be a neat thing replacing him,” Sylestine said. “We’re going to try to continue the tradition that’s been established at Clark.”
