In brief: Former coach gets 20 year probation

A former Central Valley High School and Gonzaga University star athlete was sentenced Tuesday in connection with a relationship she had with a 16-year-old female student she coached in Arizona.

Raenna Jewell, 25, was sentenced to 20 years supervised probation in Pinal County Superior Court, the East Valley Tribune in Mesa, Ariz., reported.

Jewell was arrested in April on suspicion of sexual misconduct with a minor at Apache Junction High School, where she worked part-time as a basketball and softball coach.

A plea agreement allows Jewell’s probation to be suspended after 10 years on condition of good behavior. Jewell cannot work in schools or around minors, the newspaper reported.
