Volunteer Assistant Emeritus Stanley Solarczyk :
The Lady Bison Basketball family was saddened in late October of 2017 by the
unexpected passing of "Coach Stan." A graduate of Lilly ( PA ) High School and Lock
Haven University and long-time Phys-Ed Instructor at West Branch High School, Stan
also served at W.B. as Head Lady Warriors Basketball Coach and as an assistant with the
Warrior boys team during his tenure. The Lady Bison were fortunate to have Stan at CHS
to share his vast experience over thirteen seasons as Volunteer Assistant with Lady Bison Basketball and he is sorely missed.
