At Newman, Sharp led his team to a school record of 29-3 during his senior year, while receiving All-State and All-Area awards.

Russ Damhoff enters his third year as Assistant Men's Basketball Coach for the Skyhawks, but he's certainly not new to Sauk Basketball. Damhoff served as Head Coach for the Skyhawks for 31 years before retiring in May of 2017.

"It has been exciting working under Coach Sharp, and hopefully I can help him be successful during his third season as head coach. I look forward to working with each of our players and helping them reach their goals," said Damhoff.

Damhoff received both his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Northern Illinois University. He and his wife Jackie, live in Dixon.
