Zach Goring, who coached Apple Valley to five state tournament appearances and Class 4A state championships in 2013, 2015 and 2017, announced on Twitter Thursday that he was resigning after 11 seasons.
Goring, who played basketball at Apple Valley, posted his letter of resignation on the Apple Valley boys' basketball Twitter page. "Running a high school basketball program takes an incredible amount of time and energy not just during the season, but throughout the entire year," Goring wrote.
"I've taken tremendous pride and joy in being a head coach at AVHS, but at this point in my life, I need to shift that focus and flexibility to my family."
Goring posted a head coaching record of 251-79. Apple Valley won 30 games in a season four times in his tenure, including three consecutive 30-2 seasons between 2015 and 2017.
