Lambright to undergo surgery

Former University of Washington football coach Jim Lambright will undergo surgery Wednesday to remove his bladder and prostate gland after being diagnosed with bladder cancer.

In April, Lambright underwent a medical procedure to have a tumor removed from his bladder. The surgery will be performed at the University of Washington Medical Center.

Lambright was UW’s head football coach from 1993-98 to cap a 30-year coaching career at the school that began in 1969.
