In a significant development for the Kimberly High School boys basketball program, Kameron Cerroni has been named as the new head coach. This announcement comes after an intense season that saw the Papermakers deliver a memorable upset against top-seeded Kaukauna in the WIAA Division 1 sectional semifinals. Despite their eventual loss to Marshfield in the championship game, the team showcased resilience and determination under interim coach Josh Hopfensperger. Now, with Cerroni at the helm, expectations are high for the future of Kimberly's basketball tradition.

A veteran in the coaching world, Cerroni arrives from Muskego High School, where he accumulated a 52-48 overall record over his tenure. Although this past season was challenging for his team, posting an 8-17 record, his experience and leadership have earned him recognition. Before leading Muskego, Cerroni held assistant coaching positions at several prominent high schools. His academic background includes a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and a master’s degree in education from UW-Superior.

Beyond his impressive credentials, Cerroni is committed to fostering a culture centered on family values and hard work both on and off the court. "I’m truly honored to lead the Kimberly basketball program," Cerroni expressed in a statement. "My family and I are excited to become part of Kimberly and ready to invest in this program, school, and community." His passion for mentorship and dedication to the sport promise a transformative influence within the Kimberly athletics department.

Ryan McGinnis, Kimberly's athletic director, praised Cerroni's appointment, emphasizing not only his profound basketball intelligence but also his commitment to integrating fully into the community. The Papermakers' recent performance, including their thrilling victory over Kaukauna, highlights the potential for growth under Cerroni's guidance.

The transition to a new era in Kimberly basketball brings anticipation and excitement. With a strong foundation laid by previous coaches and players, the program looks forward to building upon its successes while addressing areas needing improvement. Under Cerroni's leadership, Kimberly aims to cultivate a competitive spirit and foster a supportive environment for student-athletes aspiring to excel in basketball and beyond.
