Summary
Ferris High School’s football program is getting a major overhaul with the hiring of Billy Newman, a WSU defensive back turned coach with deep Spokane roots and a proven track record of building character through football. After years of struggle—just 11 wins in six seasons—Newman brings his philosophy of life lessons on the field, personal investment in the community, and media savvy to turn things around. Meanwhile, North Central’s boys’ basketball team welcomes back Isaiah Lockett, a former player and now head coach, stepping into the shoes of Robert Sacre after a stellar three-year run that included a state quarterfinal berth.
