Frank Haist, Vanguard: The 2A landscape shook a bit when Haist’s Coursers toppled longtime Black Forest front-runner ECA on Jan. 14. The win was monumental not only because of ECA’s run of success, but because the Eagles were senior-laden and Vanguard didn’t have a senior on the roster. ECA eventually avenged the loss with a pair of lopsided victories, but the message was sent in that first meeting that Haist has built a new power at the young charter school best known for its rigorous academic standards. It didn’t hurt matters that Haist can coach his best player full-time. Junior point guard Bailey Haist — his daughter — emerged as the floor general, the best ball-handler, a reliable shooter and a calming influence against pressure. The Haist duo and everyone else on the Vanguard team can expect to see plenty of pressure in the future, as the top dog gets everyone’s best shot. And that’s where Haist has the Coursers pointed.
