Boulder has hired Doug Kazarosian as its new boys tennis coach, Panthers athletic director Eddie Hartnett announced on Thursday night.

Kazarosian had been the coach at Broomfield for the past five seasons. He replaces Adrian Games, who was the coach for two seasons but took a job in California this summer. Games led Boulder to a fourth-place finish at state in 2014.

Kazarosian led Broomfield to two regional championships (2013 and 2011), and has coached a number of state qualifiers, including a run of qualifying five players from 2010-12.

He’s also been a tennis pro for 25 years, and currently teaches at the Broomfield Swim and Tennis Club.

Kazarosian is a well-accomplished tennis player in his own right, and was ranked No. 1 in men’s 4.5 singles in 2004, and No. 6 in men’s 40 singles in 2013.

Kazarosian has lived in Boulder for 26 years, according to Hartnett.
