HASTINGS, Neb. – Ryan Ohnoutka declared Wednesday morning he is stepping down as the Head Coach for the St. Cecilia Boys Basketball program, stamping two coaching departures in Hastings in as numerous days.
Ohnoutka and the Bluehawks just finished their basketball season on Monday with a loss to Ponca in the Class C2 District Finals to finish with a 13-11 record.

“It has been an honor to be the head basketball coach at STC. I’m grateful for the relationships and support that have come from that experience,” said Ohnoutka. “Being the head coach of two sports one after the other and afterward the summer commitments have prompted this decision. Right now I want to put my energy toward our softball program.”
Hastings Boys Head Coach Drew Danielson was the other Head Coach that declared his departure on Tuesday.
In four seasons, Ohnoutka went 56-43 with the basketball program and finished as District Second place three times.
The St. Cecilia softball team has made the state tournament in all four years with Ohnoutka in charge.
