I can't think of a better Coach or Mentor. I had the distinct privilge to be coached by Coach Sealy now Coach Thigpen, at New Boston High School. I was fortunate enough to be one of the young ladies she coached to our first District Championship. It is with this gratitude and inspiration I still use her techniques and coaching ethics. Thank you Coach Thigpen for your inspiration and Congradulations again on your Induction into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame. You deserve it!
