Liberty High School has hired Jevon Green as its new head boys basketball coach. Green replaces Steve Billanko, who left Liberty to become head coach at Seattle’s Bishop Blanchet High School.

Green has worked as varsity assistant coach at Lakes High School in Lakewood and junior varsity coach at Seattle’s Cleveland High School.

He is a 1994 graduate of Seattle’s Nathan Hale. He led the team to the 3A state tournament that year, and set a tournament record by hitting nine 3-point field goals against O’Dea.

“Jevon’s basketball experience and knowledge are extensive,” Liberty athletic director Stark Porter said. “We’re exited what he can do for our program.”
