On this episode of the River Valley Breakfast Show, Grant Merrill talks with Wilbers about why the Russellville job caught his attention after retirement, the memories his family has tied to Russellville High School, and what excites him about building the girls basketball program from junior high through the high school level.

Wilbers also talks about working with Russellville High School Principal Ben Goodman, the potential he sees in the current players, and the importance of developing young athletes early.
