JV: Karson Hills

  • Coach Hills is beginning his first year of coaching high school basketball for the Silver Creek Junior Varsity Team. He graduated from Silver Creek in 2021 where he played 3 years for the Raptors Varsity basketball team. More recently, he has earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree in Sport Management from Florida State University in 2026. During his time at Florida State Coach Hills worked closely with the Seminoles’ basketball program gaining valuable insight into the preparation, discipline, and work ethic required to compete at a high level. He looks forward to bringing those experiences and lessons back to Silver Creek to help develop the next generation of Raptors basketball players.

Coach Hills’ coaching mindset comes from rewarding hard work and having a positive mindset. He emphasizes effort, commitment, and doing the right thing on and off the basketball court. At the Junior Varsity level his goal is to make sure the players are ready when called upon at the next level.

When he’s not coaching basketball, Coach Hills works in marketing for a youth sports company, along with other freelance marketing projects. His passion for sports extends beyond the court, as getting active with the weights or with a ball is where he spends most of his free time.

  • Coach Goad enters his 11th year on the sidelines and his 8th season as the Silver Creek C Team coach. Before joining Creek, he spent 2 years with the Erie High School staff and coached multiple competitive youth club teams.

Coach Goad’s philosophy centers on the “We > Me” mindset, emphasizing teamwork, fundamentals, accountability, positivity, and a relentless work ethic. He plays a key role in fostering the Gentleman Warrior culture that Silver Creek basketball is known for.

Todd Goad carries forward teaching life lessons through basketball while preparing players for a smooth transition to the “big gym.”
