We continue our look at the best of 2020 in sports across the area:

One of the biggest stories around Bartlesville sports happened early in the year, when Bartlesville Public Schools hired a new Athletic Director.

On Feb. 4 BPS tapped Thad Dilbeck, a former principal and assistant principal at Ponca City.

Bartlesville was looking for a long-term leader at the Athletic and Activities Director spot, after BHS had four different ADs over five years.

Dilbeck has ties to the area, he had previously served as a teacher and coach in Bartlesville and Dewey in the late 90s and 2000s. At the time he told KWON he was excited to get back to the area for his family.

Dilbeck has experience in both athletics and activities, being involved in both during his tenure in Ponca.

The hiring of Dilbeck meant a bit of reshuffling in the Athletic Department at Bartlesville High. Bruin head football coach Jason Sport took over the duties as Assistant Athletic Director, while Terry Hughes will stayed on in his role as Auxiliary Assistant Director of Athletics

Within a matter of months Dilbeck had to navigate a shutdown of sports, and subsequent attempts to restart because of COVID-19.
