About a year ago, we dedicated Coach Kuhns Court knowing that his retirement from Saints Basketball would not be too far away. Well here we are. After 23 seasons as the VCHS Boys Head Varsity Basketball Coach, Coach Kuhns is closing a storied chapter. Here’s an excerpt from the court dedication proclamation:
Sheldon Kuhns has invested deeply into the lives of his Vail Christian High School basketball players. Cool and calm, humble, and fun-loving, Coach Kuhns is also a fierce competitor. To date, his teams have won 3 League Championships, 2 District Championships, 2 Region Championships, and made 3 State Tournament appearances including the State Final Four. In February 2019, Coach Kuhns recorded his 200th win. More importantly, for the young men on Coach Kuhns’ teams, he desires to see them develop Christ-like character, regularly coaching them through Fight Club. His mantra, and what his players chant when breaking from a team huddle – Team Together – will never be forgotten. Because of Coach Kuhn’s leadership, particularly in building a positive program culture, basketball is a signature Vail Christian sport, and one that is highly respected in Eagle County, the Western Slope, and throughout Colorado. Today, hundreds of former and current players call Coach Kuhns their mentor and friend.
