Clay Shepard '17 Calling the Shots for Wildcats

Basketball is in Clay Shepard’s blood.

His grandfather, Wes Shepard, was a successful high school coach at Lincoln Christian. His father, Mark, coached Dawson-Verdon to the boys state tournament in 1989 and is now the superintendent for Fremont Public Schools. Clay’s mom, the former Kim Bennett, was an all-state player at Lincoln Christian. So it was natural that Clay Shepard, the second oldest of Mark and Kim’s six children – all of which are involved in basketball – would take up coaching the sport.

A three-year starter at Lincoln East High School who went on to play basketball at Midland University under coaches Todd Eisner and Oliver Drake, Shepard is the new boys basketball coach at Cedar Bluffs High School.

He was hired as a math teacher and coach at Cedar Bluffs this spring after teaching one year at Fremont High School. During his time at FHS, Shepard helped out the Tiger girls team coached by Tony Weinandt.
