Ray Harris
Director
Coach Harris enters his first season leading the Wenatchee Valley College Women’s Basketball program. A Yakima native, he was a multi-sport standout at La Salle High School, earning multiple All-League First Team honors in football, baseball, and basketball before competing in collegiate soccer at WVC and briefly walking on at the University of Idaho.
His coaching career began in 2006, and for the past seven years he guided Eisenhower High School Girls Basketball, where he helped turn around a struggling program. Under his leadership, Eisenhower captured its first league title in 16 years and came within a game of the state tournament. He finished with a 57–53 record, revitalizing a team that had previously gone 9–110.
Coach Harris comes from a large family, with three brothers, a sister, 14 nieces and nephews, a godson, and his dog, Chico. His passion for coaching lies in helping young athletes discover their strength, unlock potential, and believe in themselves.
At WVC, his mission is to build a competitive, hardworking, and supportive culture while connecting the program to the local community. He believes in giving student-athletes the opportunity to “rewrite their story” and grow both on and off the court.
