The Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association announced Jed Henderson of Rib Lake and Molly Olson of Albany-Monticello as the 2026 student recipients of the Legacy Leadership Award. Olson was nominated by her head coach, Derik Doescher.

The award was established in 2019 to honor the legacy, leadership, and lives of WBCA Executive Board members John Cary (former MACC Fund director), Jerry Petitgoue (state’s winningest coach & WBCA Executive Director), and David Royston (founder of JustAGame Fieldhouse) in recognition of their leadership qualities, characteristics in interpersonal relationships, and achievement as Board members.

The WBCA Legacy Leadership Award will be given annually to an Executive Board member and senior student who demonstrates the exemplary qualities of Character, Courage, and Service. Todd Fergot of La Crosse Central was previously selected as the Executive Board recipient of the award this year.
