He replaces Andrew Conneen, who is stepping down after 11 seasons that included five conference championships, two regional titles, two state finals appearances and one individual state champion.  

"I’m very excited for the opportunity," Mork said. "Andy has done a tremendous job building the program to an elite level in the area and in the state. I hope to build on what Andy has done and continue to move the program forward in the right direction. It will be a challenge, but with the girls that are returning, it should be an enjoyable one."  

Mork has served as an assistant varsity coach in the SHS boys basketball program for the past three seasons, and was the head freshman coach in 2008. With the varsity, Mork has coordinated the offensive scheme and coached the perimeter players, developing five all-conference guards.
