The Potomac School Panthers will have a new head coach on the bench when the 2024-25 boys high-school basketball season begins this coming winter.
Jeremy Myers recently was hired to replace longtime coach Levi Franklin, who stepped down after 15 years in charge of the private-school team and winning more than 200 games as the squad’s coach.
Franklin has 495 career victories, the others coming as the head coach of St. Paul VI Catholic in Northern Virginia and Crossland High in Prince George’s County.
Franklin also is an assistant football coach (defensive coordinator) at the Potomac School, and has been a boys assistant lacrosse coach. He remains at the school as a math teacher.
“It was time for me to change things up,” Franklin said. “I want to thank Potomac School and the community for their support and having me coach. I have been here a long time. I love it here.”
Franklin, 57, did not rule out being a head coach again if the opportunity arises.
