POLSON — Polson High School proudly announces the appointment of Randy Kelley as the new head boys basketball coach, pending board approval. A seasoned coach with a storied history at Polson, Randy Kelley returns to the sidelines after a two-year hiatus, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for the game.
Kelley’s journey at Polson began in 1995 when he took the helm as the Head Football Coach, where he dedicated seven years to shaping young athletes both on and off the field. After a brief hiatus, he returned as an Assistant Football Coach before transitioning to lead the Girls Basketball Program in 2008. During his tenure, Kelley guided the team to the state tournament and left an indelible mark on the program.
In 2015, Kelley assumed the role of Head Boys Basketball Coach, embarking on a remarkable journey of success that saw the Pirates earn 3rd place at the state tournament twice. Now, with a renewed energy and a commitment to excellence, Kelley is poised to lead the Pirates back to prominence on the basketball court.
“We are thrilled to welcome Randy Kelley back to Polson High School,” said Activities Director, Sean Dellwo. “His dedication to our student-athletes and his proven track record of success make him the ideal leader for our boys basketball program. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact he will undoubtedly have on our team.”
Off the court, Kelley’s family is deeply rooted in the Polson community. His wife, Tammy, is a respected educator at Polson High School, while his children have pursued successful careers of their own, with his two sons excelling as petroleum engineers and his daughter following in her parents’ footsteps as a teacher and coach.
