Hemenway named new coach, AD at WC

The Washington Catholic Cardinals made a big announcement on Thursday in the Birdcage, naming Alex Hemenway the new athletic director and boys basketball coach.

Hemenway replaces Peyton Catt and interim coach Brock Craney. He will be the third new coach in the last three seasons, as WC has gone 0-44 in the last two years under former coaches Billy Nolley and Catt, while the Cardinals have been 5-121 since 2020-21. Craney was named interim coach about a month ago.

Hemenway was a major part of some very good Castle teams in high school and then played at Clemson out of high school, then joined Vanderbilt for the 2024-25 season and finished out back home at U of E during college last season.

During his 127 college games, he averaged 5.7 points and was a 39% 3-point shooter in his career, getting 6.8 points in his last year at Evansville.
