Garden Grove Girls’ Basketball Coach Quits

Marcia Foster has resigned as girls’ basketball coach at Garden Grove to join the women’s basketball staff at Arizona State, she said Tuesday.

Foster was 54-41 at Garden Grove, including 15-8 last year; the Argonauts shared the league title with Santiago.

She is the second woman coach from the Garden Grove League in less than a year to leave for a college assistant’s job; Kennedy’s Karen Caires Wolfe joined the staff at Vermont last June.
