BUEHLER SISTERS WON'T COACH WAITSBURG - Former volleyball coaches Jesse and Katie Buehler will not be coaching basketball for the WP team this year. In the past, the sisters coached the program's JV players under head coach Jerry Baker. The Buehler sisters, who said they will not be returning to the WP sports program following their suspension as co-coaches of the volleyball team, have requested a hearing regarding their dismissal. The meeting is set for Dec. 1 with Dr. Carol Clarke and other school district officials.
