Brandon Peterson has been hired as the boys basketball coach at Northwestern.
A familiar face in Clark County, Peterson has made previous stops as a head coach at Catholic Central and Emmanuel Christian, and most recently was an assistant coach at Springfield.
“I’m honored and grateful for the opportunity to lead the Northwestern basketball program as well as the trust AD [Steve] Tincher has in me,” Peterson said. “Northwestern has a storied tradition, a loyal fan base, and after hearing the vision from the AD, seeing the facilities and talking with some of the student athletes, I knew this is where God wanted me.”
Peterson replaces outgoing coach Ron Long, who led the program for the past three seasons and compiled a 20-50 overall record while increasing Northwestern’s win totals each campaign.
“I’m excited to build relationships with our players, families and community,” Peterson said. “We will work every day to build a program defined by discipline, toughness, unselfishness, and character.
“Our goal is to represent Northwestern with pride while pursuing excellence on and off the court. I’m excited to get started.”
The Warriors went 10-14 in the 2025-26 season, its first 10-win season since 2016-17, and finished fourth in the Central Buckeye Conference’s Mad River division. Northwestern lost to Northridge in its Division IV district tournament second round game.
