Wilson High School has hired head coaches for its boys and girls basketball teams.

Dave Alwert, who previously coached at Sumner and Lakes, will lead the boys program and Michelle Birge, who has been an assistant coach at Foss, will guide the girls.

Both coaches have deep ties to Tacoma. Alwert graduated from Mount Tahoma, where he played for former coach Dan Mullen. Birge played for Jim Black at Foss.
