Alex Barashkoff, football coach at Ballard High School the past three seasons, is resigning to spend more time with his wife and two children. Barashkoff teaches math at Ballard and has commuted from Marysville.
Last season, the Beavers were 5-3 in the KingCo 4A Conference and 5-5 overall, with a loss to Edmonds-Woodway in the preliminary state-playoff round. Ballard was 2-7 each of the previous two seasons.
Barashkoff also has been head coach at Mountlake Terrace and Ingraham and was an assistant at Stanwood and Bishop Blanchet.
Athletic director Doug Bruketta is accepting applications for a replacement.
Notes
• Garfield sprinter Bianca Greene, the 2006 state champion and 2007 runner-up in the Class 4A girls 200 meters, signed a letter of intent with Washington.
• Kentlake's Alex Zerbach, a second-team All-SPSL North basketball player, signed a letter of intent with Oregon Tech in Klamath Falls. The 6-foot-4 senior averaged 15.1 points and 9.1 rebounds this season. His father, Mark, played for Oregon Tech.
• David Edwards, 20, who was paralyzed during a 2003 Texas high-school football game and whose injury was fictionalized in the TV show "Friday Night Lights," died in San Antonio.
