King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer organized a county recognition of the Federal Way High School Boys Basketball coach and team at a recent King County Council meeting. Von Reichbauer presented the recognition to the coach and players for their success in winning the WIAA 4A Boys State Championship.

Coach Jerome Collins led his team to a 65-46 victory over Davis High School at the Tacoma Dome on March 7. Coach Collins was joined by members of the championship team: Timoney Buckley, Troy Conley, Viont’e Daniels, Ferron Flavors, Eli Graham, Mykael Henry, Christian Jones, D’Jimon Jones, Jalen McDaniels, Malik Montoya, Leon Njama, Marcus Stephens and Jovon Vonsaveng.

Councilman von Reichbauer hosted the team at a lunch and reception prior to the Council meeting.

“In Jerome Collins’ 31 years of coaching, he has always emphasized the importance of the hard work necessary to be successful on the court and in the classroom,” said von Reichbauer. “Leaders like coach Collins empower the youth in our community to lead successful lives long after they have played the game.”
