The leaves are turning fall colors ...the air is getting cooler ...and soon we'll be hearing the squeak of sneakers and basketballs bouncing!!! Only nine more days until the first official practice! It's an exciting time of the year for the coaching staff (I'm not sure if the players look forward to those first few weeks as much as we do - LOL). We have our fall break this weekend and when we return it will be time!! YAY!
I really wanted to post this blog to recognize Coach Willi, who was recently inducted into the Turner Ashby High School Hall of Fame. It is a well-deserved honor for her. Not only is she an exceptional coach but she was also a tremendous athlete.
During her time at T.A. (I won't mention the graduation year) she led the Knights in scoring (and that was before the 3-point line) and was also a state qualifer in the shot put. She also was the first female at T.A. to participate on a men's team ...the golf team.
Kudos to Coach Jean Willi on this honor!!
Everyone enjoy this fall weather!! I'll be posting again after our practicies have begun, cuts have been made, and the team is finalized.
Go Eagles!!
