DeWitt steps down as head coach of Lady Patriot basketball

SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. – After 18 seasons spread across three stints at Allen County-Scottsville, Garry DeWitt has announced his retirement from coaching Lady Patriot basketball.

In a statement on social media, ACS Sports shared Tuesday afternoon that the hall of famer was stepping away from the program.

Allen Co.-Scottsville girls’ coach Garry DeWitt has stepped down. Coach DeWitt submitted his resignation today and informed his players of his retirement. DeWitt leaves ACS with an overall record of 149-110 in 10 combined years. The search for his successor begins immediately.

The 2025-26 season was a strong one for the Lady Patriots, going 22-9 with 16 wins in 4th Region play.

ACS wrapped up its year in the regional semifinals after finishing as 15th District runners-up and taking down Cumberland County in the regional quarterfinals in Diddle Arena.

DeWitt’s head coaching record rounds out at 149-110 and his presence on the sidelines for the Lady Patriots will certainly be missed.

With DeWitt’s departure, ACS becomes the fifth girls team in the region to see a head coaching change this offseason, alongside Todd County Central, Greenwood, South Warren, and Metcalfe County.
