Sequoyah girls’ basketball coach Spencer Beaty has no dreams of being Superman.
The “S” he wears on the necktie hanging to his navel is simply for Sequoyah – not a superhero.
The first-year coach at the Madisonville high school understands that when the ball goes up for the first tip, he has little to do with the outcome of a game. It’s up to his players to make the proper pass, swish a shot, grab a rebound or close out on a shooter.
The Lady Chiefs excelled at all of their skills Monday night and toppled Tyner 61-33 in a Region 3-AA semifinal at East Ridge High School.
“We’re happy to move on and face McMinn Central for the region championship on Wednesday,” Beaty said. “We were ready tonight.”
