In four short years Coach Chris Nickleberry has taken the Lady Lion basketball program to new heights.
Winning four district championships, a regional tournament appearance, eight playoff wins, and an overall record of 99 -24.
Several Lady Lions have received local and state recognition and a couple have gone on to play at the collegiate level. He has even won several awards as a coach and last year won the Dean Weese Award recognizing him as the most outstanding coach in 3A.
Now he has the opportunity to lead the red team in the 15th Annual Azalea Orthopedic All-Star game in Tyler, Texas on April 14th at Tyler Junior College.
“I’m very excited about the opportunity to represent Teague ISD, coach two of my athletes, and to be able to coach other top players from around the state. I receive a lot of credit but I was blessed with a good group of kids who bought in to what we do and that along with other sacrifices has led to our success,” Coach Nickleberry.
