Valor Christian has hired former University of Colorado basketball player Ronnie DeGray to head its boys basketball program.

DeGray is currently the CEO of the Chauncey Billups Elite Basketball Academy, a well-respected youth basketball club in Colorado. He’s also the sports coordinator for the City and County of Denver.

DeGray played with Billups at CU, where he was an All-Big-12 selection in 1998, then continued his career in Europe from 1998-2006 after graduating.

Valor Christian went 23-3 last season, and returns leading scorer Chase Foster.
