Gulf promotes girls basketball assistant

Gulf has promoted Clare Ennis to the Buccaneers’ head girls basketball coach, the school announced Monday.

Ennis was an assistant last season under Mike Quarto, the Times’ all-Suncoast coach of the year who resigned to pursue an administrative position.

Ennis inherits a Gulf team expected to be among the best in Pasco County. G/F Kayla Kivinski was the Times’ all-North Suncoast player of the year last season. The Buccaneers also return standout guards Kadejah Saunders and Lexy Schulman from a team that finished 28-3 and advanced to the Class 5A region finals.

Since 2003, Gulf has advanced to the playoffs seven times and won five district championships.
