TIGERETTE BASKETBALL WELCOMES HEAD COACH TERRI BROCK
Shea Haile Carthage Courier
Basketball is deeply rooted in Gordonsville High Tigerettes head coach Terri Brock’s life — who will take the reins of the program this season.
“Basketball has been a part of my life since early on in elementary school,” said Brock. “I have been fortunate along the path of my playing career — I have had some excellent coaches.”
Brock continued, “Not only have I been fortunate that I have played with some passionate coaches, I have also been fortunate to play with great teammates.”
“I have played for communities that have always been very supportive of basketball and the student athletes. I think all those things combined helped me have a great experience from a player’s stand point and develop a love for basketball — that just put basketball in my heart.”
Brock brings that passion and competitiveness to her new post.
“I coached at a community college but high school is the only level I have not experienced coaching,” said Brock who has mentored teams at White County Middle School and as an assistant at Chattanooga State.
“I agreed to come in and interview. The minute I walked into the school and sat down with Mr. Petty (Mac Petty) and Mr. Storie (Bobby Storie) — I had this feeling that it was a great fit and that it was a place where I could come in and hopefully make a difference in these young ladies lives.”
“I am so thankful and appreciative to Mr. Petty and Mr. (Barry) Smith for the opportunity.”
