Sam Gardner is a 2008 graduate of Guerin Catholic and has served the boys basketball program since the school opened in 2004. Throughout the program’s storied history, Sam has played a key role - as a player helping build the program’s foundation with Hall of Fame coach Pete Smith, as an assistant coach capturing the 2015 Class 3A State Championship and assisting former coach Bobby Allen to the 2023 Class 3A State Finals. Sam Gardner is the ideal fit to continue the tradition and excellence of the program while preserving the mission of Guerin Catholic. Sam and his wife, Katie (Regan) Gardner ‘10 have three children and are parishioners at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church. From Sam Gardner “As a product of the Guerin Catholic basketball program, it is difficult to articulate the pride I feel in being selected to serve in this role. Guerin Catholic basketball is special - it has changed the trajectory of my life and the lives of many others. Coach Smith created a unique program, and Coach Allen built upon that vision. Our staff will work to ensure that the program continues to shape young men by furthering the mission of the school. This opportunity only arose through the work of God, my wife and kids and Guerin Catholic. It is an honor to be called to give back to the community in this way.” Please join us in welcoming Sam Gardner on Tuesday, May 13th at 5:30pm in the Media Center. All players and their families are invited to attend. Thank you! Go Golden Eagles!
