Radford has hired Brandy Richardson to be the new varsity girls basketball coach.

Richardson replaces outgoing coach Tani Almont-Dutro, who resigned recently and has applied for the vacant varsity boys coaching position.

"Tani’s a great coach," Radford athletic director Kelly Sur said. "Brandy’s philosophy in terms of how she wants to run a program fits in with our direction. She brings a wealth of knowledge."

Richardson was player of the year at Kalaheo before playing at UC Santa Barbara.
