With her historic career at Fort Hays State University now in the rear-view mirror, women’s basketball icon Kate Lehman is tackling a new challenge.

Beginning in the 2015-16 school year, Lehman said she will be “first and foremost” a first-grade teacher at Plainville Elementary School — as well as the new girls basketball coach at the high school.

Lehman, who came to FHSU from Newton, also will serve as assistant coach for the Cardinal volleyball team.

Check out a portion of her interview with Eagle’s Gary Shorman and watch for the complete airing of The Forum on Eagle TV Channels 14 and 614 beginning June 1.
