• Five former girls that I was a head coach for received scholarship offers to play basketball. One was a 2013 Dandy Dozen selection by Clarion Ledger.

• Created a three-day high school and middle school camp for two consecutive seasons in June. Over thirty teams participated from three different states. I coordinated with local businesses to provide team discounted prices for entry to Gulf Islands Water park, negotiated hotel fees and provided discounts to restaurants in the area. I created a website that updated all camp information including location, scheduling, facility information offering services such as laundry drop off. This project included creating matchups and scheduling officials for over 120 games in three different gyms. I was responsible for assigning workers for concessions stands, gate workers, and clock workers. I coordinated this project with our school's superintendent, building administrators, athletic director, parents, and sponsors. This three-day project brought in over $15,000 into our program and brought a lot of enthusiasm for the Long Beach community.
• Collaborated with Long Beach Middle and High School administration and our winter sports coaches to involve nearly 200 participants in the development of Bearcat Madness. This event raised public awareness and created excitement to kick off our winter sports season. Community colleges including MSGCCC and National Guard representatives, and public officials were in attendance to show support and toss out tee-shirts. We collected over 300 canned goods in leu of admission from students to give away to the Long Beach Food pantry. This night raised several thousands of dollars to go towards the basketball program to help with yearly expenses and travel.
• Planned and organized a Major Golf Tournament called the "Gator Invitational" that hosted 18 schools. The event had representatives from Mississippi Gulf Coast and included several sponsorships and handouts to participants and their coaches. I coordinated with Hickory Hills Country Club, State Farm, community colleges as well as several organizations to provide gift bags, tees, and golf towels for the athletes. This was a MSHSAA sanctioned and digital scoring was incorporated to give up to the date information displaying the leaderboard through the iwannamaker digital scoring app. The duties included coordination with high schools, setting pin locations, pairings, creating and going over local course rules with 84 golfers, ordering trophies, and sharing the results with the media among many other responsibilities.
