Scott Preuninger gets another shot at coaching basketball at Camas High School, this time as the head of the girls program. "It's nice being back in a one high school community, where everybody is supporting this team and there are solid youth programs in place," he said.

In his 13th year teaching at Camas High School, Scott Preuninger is thrilled to be the head coach of the Papermaker girls basketball team.

“I’ve been out of the gym for four years, but it feels like I never left,” he said. “These girls have accepted me from the very beginning, which is nice. I’ve had so many kids, parents and teachers come up to me and say ‘Welcome back coach. This is where you belong.'”
