ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- The Benton Cardinals have found their new girls basketball coach. 

KQ2 confirmed with the St. Joseph School District Tuesday afternoon that Rebecca Bailey has been named the new head coach. 

Bailey has served as the Cardinals' assistant coach and was going to be the assistant coach again this season before the departure of Ross Barelli last month. 

District officials said that they could not comment on Barelli's departure due to it being a personnel issue. 

The Cardinals finished second in Class 4 last season with a 27-4 record.
