Don Clark, who built West Deptford boys' basketball into one of the Colonial Conference's most competitive programs, has resigned after five seasons as the Eagles coach.

Don Clark, who built West Deptford boys' basketball into one of the Colonial Conference's most competitive programs, has resigned after five seasons as the Eagles coach.

Clark said he wants to spend more time watching his children play sports at Clearview.

Clark led West Deptford to a 22-6 record last season. The Eagles finished second to Haddonfield in the Colonial's Liberty Division and advanced to the second round of the South Jersey Group 2 tournament before losing to eventual champion Camden.

West Deptford made steady progress the last three seasons, improving from 14-13 to 19-9 to 22-6.

"The thing I'm most proud of is taking a team from 2-24 [in 2009-10] to 22-6 with players from our town and efforts from my assistant coaches and a strong booster club," Clark said.

He said he would miss competing in the Colonial Conference in basketball.

"I will miss battling the Colonial coaches, who are some of the best coaches in South Jersey," Clark said.
