Bloomfield, Missouri - A changing of the guard at Holcomb next year as the Varsity Boys Basketball Coach, Seth McBroom is leaving.

McBroom has accepted a position as Middle School Principal at the Bloomfield R-14 School District. 

“It was kind of one of those great opportunities that just opened up,” McBroom said.  “It’s a good opportunity for me and my family and a chance to get into administration. I don’t typically go out looking unless a great opportunity like that arises.  I pursued it and it worked out.”

Coach McBroom served as varsity boys basketball coach at Holcomb for six years.  His overall record was 80-67 and he improved their winning percentage every season.  The Hornets were able to sin the Bloomfield Christmas Tournament for the first time in school history this year and McBroom was voted as the Tri-County Conference Basketball Coach of the Year for the  2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. 

“It is an unbelievable place to work and coach, the kids are great, the faculty is top-notch and the administration is great, “McBroom stated.  “I would like to thank the staff members, my administrators and the kids.  Not only the kids who played for me, but the kids in the school.  I will always have a spot for them in my heart and always check in on them.”

McBroom said his new position did not including coaching responsibilities.  It is not known yet who Holcomb will hire as its new varsity boys basketball coach, but they will have big shoes to fill. 

Seth and his wife Jacy, recently announced the birth of their new baby girl, Lyla Kate in November.  They also have another young daughter, Marcy.  Seth graduated from Missouri State University in 2007 and from Twin Rivers High School in 2002. 

We wish them great happiness as they make the transition from Holcomb schools to Bloomfield schools.
