Doniphan girls coach stepping down

Posted Friday, February 29, 2008, at 11:48 AM

Jimbo Blackwell called today to confirm that he has stepped down as Doniphan girls basketball coach.

His final game was a 60-58 loss to Twin Rivers in the Class 3 District 1 semifinal. He coached in the Class 3A championship game in 2001 when his Donettes lost to Notre Dame de Sion. They finished fourth in 2006 and had won the previous three district titles.

I hope to catch up with him early next week to do a story for the DAR and PN.

Jimbo is a good coach, he just didn't have near the talent he has had the past few years.
