Carrollton Dedicating Basketball Court to Longtime Coach Vondette
December 19, 2023
Retired Carrollton High School boys basketball coach Ron Vondette spent 30 years on the sidelines leading the boys basketball program – and after tonight will forever be a visible part of Cavaliers hoops, even as his days on the sideline ended three decades ago.
The school’s playing surface will be dedicated as the Coach Ron Vondette Basketball Court at Carrollton High School prior to tip-off of tonight’s varsity home game against Frankenmuth.
Vondette led the Cavaliers from 1965-94, building a record of 425-164 with 20 league championships, seven District and four Regional titles, and a Class B runner-up finish in 1970.
Tonight’s varsity game is scheduled for 7 p.m., after the conclusion of the junior varsity contest and dedication ceremony.
