The 2012-13 school year hasn’t quite wrapped up yet, but some schools already are looking ahead to 2013-14 in terms of athletic staffing.

One of those schools is Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep.

Notre Dame athletic director Monica Barrett reports that Tom Horyza will be the school’s new boys basketball coach and will serve as an assistant AD.

Horyza, who was the AD and a coach at Phoenix Veritas Prep, replaces former Notre Dame boys coach Chris Stark, who left the program to pursue other coaching opportunities.

In addition, long-time Valley area football coach Mike Brown has joined Notre Dame head coach Gary Gregory’s staff as an assistant coach. Brown also will be a teacher.

Brown comes to Notre Dame after serving one season as head coach at Phoenix North Canyon. He also was head coach at Tolleson High and spent many years as head coach at Phoenix Greenway.
