Dre Calloway named boys basketball coach at Abraham Lincoln

Dre Calloway has been hired as the new boys basketball coach at Abraham Lincoln, athletic director LeRoy Lopez announced on Monday.

Calloway was a member of the school’s state championship team in 2008, and has been an assistant with the program.

He replaces Vince Valdez, who resigned in July to spend more time with his family. Valdez led a highly successful era at the school, including Class 4A championships in 2007 and 2008.

Lincoln went 15-10 last season and advanced to the second round of the 5A state tournament.

After playing at Lincoln, Calloway played at St. Francis in New York. Upon graduating, he returned to Lincoln to be an assistant.
