Ferndale will have a new girls basketball coach next season.

Eagles coach Devin Pettaway has stepped down coaching the program after the 77-27 regional final loss to Detroit Edison last week.

The MHSAA website confirmed the Ferndale job is open.

Pettaway took over for Coach Keith Paris who stepped down midseason. They also saw their two incoming transfers in Kamira Page (Southfield Arts and Tech) and Gabriella Brooks-Foster (Macomb Dakota) transfer out of Ferndale as well. It’s unknown where they both went.

The Eagles went 10-16 this season finishing last in the Red with a 2-8 record.

Program strength is a huge concern with Ferndale. The Eagles should have Zahra Richardson, Iyana Davis, Kaniya Watts, JaNiya Larry, and Malia Taylor coming back but some of them could leave Ferndale and go elsewhere according to a source.

It will be really interesting to see the direction Eagles Boys Basketball Coach, and Athletic Director Juan Rickman goes with his next coaching hire. Program strength is a huge concern for Ferndale heading into next season.
