Bryce Babcock, JV Coach

Taylor Groff, C-Team Coach  

 

Taylor grew up in central Pennsylvania and had the opportunity to play basketball at Messiah College where he would attend from 2010-2014. At Messiah, Taylor had the chance to contribute to a team that would win its conference before advancing to the NCAA tournament and later, captain a team to a top 15 national ranking. After obtaining his Bachelor's in Health and Exercise Science, Taylor got married to his wife, Amy, and moved to Colorado. Taylor comes to Legacy having coached lower level basketball at both Lakewood and on the AAU level. Aside from basketball, Taylor enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, and fly fishing. He is very excited to be a part of the excellent staff already in place at Legacy and hopes to contribute to the exceptional culture being established there this upcoming season.

Thank you Legacy!!

​

Despite my absolute pleasure being the Boys Head Basketball Coach at Legacy High School, I am

submitting my official letter of resignation.  Earlier this month, I accepted a great opportunity, and they

have deemed it a conflict of interest for me to serve in multiple roles within the same county.  

To that end, I am resigning from Legacy High School and super excited about my new challenge!

 

This decision is tough for me, especially with us growing as a program and experiencing lots of success

this spring and summer.  Our players are improving each time out, and becoming a closer group.  

My experience with Legacy has been fun and enlightening, and I’ve learned several great lessons over the past

two and a half years with the program.  This is the right time for me to move in a different direction, and I will be available over the next couple of weeks to support the transition.  

​

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the “Legacy Strong” program, and I wish you luck next season and beyond!  Go Bolts!

​

 

Sincerely,

 

​

--Coach--

Pictured below are Legacy's in-coming Freshmen for next year, and members of our "Young Guns" Freshmen Summer Team.  From the  left: Jack "Big Smooth" Thurston, Jacob "don't take me out of the game!" Diederich, Gavin "The Sniper" Poxson, Tyson "Mad Handles" Spradling, Christian "Muscles" Mitchell, Miles "Mighty Mouse" Ward, Jaiden "Fro-Hawk" Peterson, Eelya "Renaissance Man" Vasilev, Cale "The Professor" Sweeden, Ethan "Lower Case E"  Crawford and last but not least Blake O'Brien a.k.a...."The BEAST" 

​

This group of kids were spectacular to work with, and kept me laughing constantly.  We all grew closer, and they got progressively better each and every tournament.  We finished this week's final event with a record of 5-2 and easily could have gone 7-0.  We lost two tough games to perennial powerhouse programs, Overland and Thunderidge by a combined four (4) points.  THANK YOU and BIG KUDDOS to the freshmen parents, it was so awesome getting to know you all this summer!  The future of Legacy Basketball is bright and I can't wait to get these guys back in the gym!

As we establish our new culture at Legacy High School, we start with “Above the Line” behavior. This will be discussed at greater length throughout the year, and will be at the core of everything we do at Legacy. We also have a set of Core Beliefs and they are listed below.
