TORONTO - George Brown Athletics is pleased to announce that York University kinesiology and health sciences graduate Warren Williams will take over as head coach of the women's basketball program. An accomplished athlete himself, Williams love for the game has transferred into the coaching realm where he has consistently succeeded.

Williams is off to a strong start, having swept a pair of games on Friday at the inaugural Huskies High School/College Invitational. George Brown took out Centennial and Redeeemer, playing an up-tempo, exciting brand of basketball. Reading the tea leaves, the Huskies look to be in strong position in advance of their Oct. 29 season opener.

Williams has 23 years of coaching experience under his belt and a history of team success under his leadership. He acted as an assistant coach for the under-15 boy's provincial team, securing a national championship, and later a bronze medal as head coach in 2016. Under his direction as an assistant coach in 2013, the under-17 boys snatched the Summer Games championship. He has also won two ROPSSA (Region of Peel Secondary School Athletic Association) championships while working with the senior girls basketball team at Applewood Heights Secondary School, as well as three Ontario Cup medals.

With the solid foundation established by previous Husky head coach Faith Akser, Williams expects to qualify for the playoffs this year. With his eye set on an eventual national championship, he has voiced his firm commitment in helping players achieve their goals both on and off the court.

"I am very excited to join Husky Nation. I am looking forward to meeting the many great people who contribute to the tremendous reputation George Brown has in the community. I am confident we will build the Huskies' women's basketball program into a cornerstone varsity program not only at our school but across the OCAA."
