Pohlson named head girls basketball coach at Ogallala

OGALLALA, Neb. — Ogallala Public Schools named John Pohlson the new head coach of the OHS girls basketball team for the 2025-26 season.
Pohlson spent the last three years coaching both boys and girls middle school basketball in Ogallala, while also serving as the boys golf coach for the past three seasons. This fall marks his fourth year teaching at OHS, where he leads business and math courses.
A graduate of Adams Central High School, Pohlson was a four-year basketball player and two-year team captain. He was a member of the Patriots' 2019 state-qualifying team.
“We are thrilled for Coach Pohlson to take on this new role,” the school said in a release.
Pohlson takes over a program that went 16-10 last season with a loss to Gothenburg in the Class C1-4 District Finals, a win shy from the state tournament.
