I've known Renee since she went to elementary school with my younger sibs. She started her basketball career at Lyman as a fiesty, quick little guard with the heart of a Champ! She started her coaching career at North Gulfport 7th and 8th Grade School after I turned down the job because I couldn't take the pay cut. Bet she doesn't know that.
Looks like I'll have to make an Ole Miss game this year! Way to go, Renee! We're very proud of you!!
