Northwest Rankin High School in Flowood, Mississippi is preparing for an upcoming basketball season with the appointment of new coaches for both the boys’ and girls’ teams. Sirdonta Washington has been named as the new Cougars boys’ basketball coach, and now, the school has announced that Tameika Brown will be taking the reins as the new Cougars girls’ basketball coach.
Brown brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as the head coach at Madison Central. Her decision to resign from her role at Madison Central was motivated by her desire to explore coaching opportunities at the collegiate level. It was the departure of former Northwest Rankin head coach Jalessa Taylor, a close friend of Brown’s, to take on the head coach position at the Jaguars that opened the door for Brown to apply for the Cougars head coaching job.
In a statement, Brown expressed her admiration for Coach Taylor and the solid foundation she had built for the program at Northwest Rankin. She also cited the team’s youth, talent, and athleticism as key factors that drew her to the opportunity at Northwest Rankin. Her excitement about the new role was palpable as she spoke about her plans to hit the ground running and start working with the team.
The Cougars have much to look forward to under Brown’s leadership, especially after their recent achievements, including winning a Regional championship and making a State semi-final appearance in the previous season. Brown has outlined her vision for the team, emphasizing a style of play that is fast-paced, high-energy, and centered around utilizing the team’s athleticism to its fullest potential.
“I expect us to play hard and fast, with a focus on fun, high-energy basketball,” Brown remarked. “We have a roster filled with exceptional athletes, and I intend to leverage their skill set to our advantage. Our strategy will revolve around quick transitions, three-point shooting, and a strong defensive presence.”
As the basketball community eagerly anticipates the start of the new season, Northwest Rankin supporters have every reason to be optimistic about the direction in which the girls’ basketball team is headed. The appointment of Tameika Brown signals the beginning of a new era for the program, and her vision and coaching expertise are poised to make a significant impact.
