Following a season in which Mountain Home’s junior high girls’ basketball team finished as district champions, its leader was honored for her contribution. The Arkansas Basketball Coaches Association named Junior Lady Bombers’ head coach Lindsey Leonard as the Junior High Coach of the Year on the girls’ side.
Leonard says she is thankful to receive the award, but she gives much of the credit to the kids taking the floor.
Listen:
Mountain Home ended up with a record of 19-4. The Junior Lady Bombers won the Northeast Arkansas District Tournament in February by beating Greene County Tech on their own floor in the title game. Leonard says she couldn’t have asked for a better end to the season.
Listen:
Leonard, who just completed her fourth year at the helm, says she feels like she is working in the best basketball program in Arkansas. In addition to the kids and their parents, she also expresses appreciation to the other coaches around her.
Listen:
Leonard will join the high school coaches of the year and top five boys and girls in each classification from this season at an award ceremony this month. The Arkansas Basketball Coaches Association will hold its ceremony ceremony April 18 at the Benton Event Center.
