The Zionsville Community School Board of Trustees has approved Jennifer Drudge as the new head coach of the girls’ basketball program at ZCHS. With an extensive background both as a player and coach, Coach Drudge brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the Eagles’ program. In addition to her coaching responsibilities, Drudge will be joining ZCHS as an educator in the math department. Currently, Coach Drudge is a teacher and coach at Carmel High School where she has taught in the science department for the past 24 years, including 13 years as the science department chair. In addition, she has experienced a very successful 14 years of coaching, both as a head and assistant coach for the Greyhounds. As a player, Jennifer was a standout at Rushville High School and Butler University. During her high school career, she was an Indiana All-Star and was an All-State player. At Butler, she led the Bulldogs in scoring and assists and she owns the single season and career records for three-point field goal shooting. She is Butler’s fifth all-time leading scorer, and she still ranks among Butler’s all-time leaders in scoring, assists, three-point field goals, free throws, three point field goal shooting and free throw shooting. She was named All-Conference three times. In addition, Coach Drudge was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023. “We could not be more excited to add Jen Drudge to the ZCHS community,” said Greg Schellhase, Athletic Director at ZCHS. “Jen brings a passion for teaching and coaching and an exceptional ability to build strong connections and relationships. She is a proven educator, and I am very confident that she will provide outstanding leadership that will help continue to move our program forward. With Jen’s impressive coaching background and dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive team environment, we are confident that Coach Drudge will motivate and inspire our student-athletes to reach their full potential on and off the court.” "I am thrilled to be joining Zionsville Community Schools and the Zionsville girls' basketball program. Educational based athletics provides us an opportunity to positively impact student-athletes on a daily basis and to establish confidence that will carry them well beyond high school and sports. It is an honor to follow Coach Maguire and to build upon the foundation that he and his staff established. We look forward to building upon that foundation and establishing traditions that will carry us into the future." said Coach Drudge.
