McQueary announced his resignation on the Boone County basketball website.
“After 15 years as head coach of the Boone County Rebels, I have decided to step away from leading the boys’ basketball program. I wish to thank the principals for whom I have worked during my tenure for their support, as well as the students, staff, parents and fans. Thanks to all the players and assistant coaches, who have enriched my life the past 15 seasons, for your energy and effort. Also, a special thanks to Jay Leftin for coaching my entire tenure. I would be remiss if I did not thank my wife and children for making those sacrifices which have enabled me to proudly coach the Rebels all of these years. It is with great pride and fond memories that I leave the basketball program.”
McQueary was 242-203 as Boone County head coach. His 242 wins are just 19 short of the school record.
