TIGER ROAR!! Congratulations to Coach Joe Smith!!!!!!
Basketball has been nothing but good to me! Graduated college with not a penny of student debt, been able to travel all over the country as well as the 🌎 having been to about 9 other countries. Made friends at every stop that have become like family to me, and none of that would have been possible had it not been for the illustrious White Station High School. The history, the leadership, the example of those before me and the expectations led to everything I just named even being possible. To see that all come full circle and be inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall Of Fame this past weekend is CRAZY, but also a blessing!
Spartan Palace will always and forever be my favorite gym.
•3 State Championships in a row.
•4 State Championships in 5 years.
•20+ players went on to play college basketball.
•Top 10 in the nation 3/5 years.
•Record of 172-12.
Call me anything you want just make sure you say Hall Of Famer at the beginning!
