Richardson Named Head SLP Orioles Head Girls Basketball Coach

A former all around athlete at St. Louis Park will be the school's next head girls basketball coach.

Arsenio Richardson, who last season served as the Orioles junior varsity boys basketball coach has been named the new head coach of the St. Louis Park girls basketball team.  He replaces Brian Massie, who resigned after three years with the program.

Richardson is no stranger to St. Louis Park athletics.  He was a member of the Oriole football team and played ion the 2004 team that advanced to the section final and lost to the Hutchinson Tigers.  He also played on the boys basketball team since he was an eighth grader and in the spring he ran on the boys track and field team.

After graduating from St. Louis Park, Richardson would play football for the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks for three seasons until the school dropped the sport.  He would obtain his bachelor's degree at the University of Sioux Falls before returning to St. Louis Park.

In addition to coaching basketball, Richardson also served as the running backs coach on the Oriole football team.

Last season, the Oriole girls basketball team finished with a record of 11-16.  Can Richardson lead St. Louis Park to its first winning season in years?
