Thanks to Canyon News Managing Editor Tim Ritter for the insightful article about new Flying Queens Head Coach Jordan Vessels.
Read it and you will see why many former players are so excited Jordan is heading the program. Jordan also gives readers an update on the team roster for the upcoming season.
Jordan has strong West Texas roots, having learned from some of the legends in the 806 – Joe Lombard, Krista Gerlich, Marsha Sharp, Jeff Williams, and last but certainly not least, her mother Ruth Anne Vessels.
Here are Jordan’s thoughts on the impact of learning from the masters of the game:
“Every day, I carry the lessons and examples set by these coaching legends,” Vessels said. “They taught us that this is about more than just basketball … it’s about doing things the right way, investing in people, and using the game as a platform to make a difference.
“That’s what the Flying Queens have always stood for, and it’s the legacy we’re proud to carry forward.”
