Read more below about Katya in her Juanita High School coaching bio:

"Basketball has been a lifelong fixture in Coach Katya Yancehva’s life. Her initial experiences with basketball were with Bulgaria’s Academic Club Team. Later she would play in the US for Lewis-Clark State College while earning her Bachelor’s degree. She rounded out her career as a player in Italy playing professionally for Florence Basket.

As Katya’s career as player came to an end, she continued to follow her passion for basketball as a coach. She has coached a range of players, camps, and teams including a successful season with the Juanita Basketball Club’s 8th grade girls’ team.

Outside of her love for basketball, Katya enjoys spending time with her family and traveling."
