Introducing the new leader of Houston Lady Tiger Basketball 🐯🏀 Congratulations, Coach Micah Lee!
Coach Lee is a 2009 Thayer graduate who was a two-time all-state selection and still holds the program's career scoring mark with 2,123 points. She played Division II basketball on a full ride scholarship at Maryville University in St. Louis for one year before returning home to get married, start a family and pursue a degree in education.
She has taught three years, most recently in social studies at Houston Middle School, and has coached both boys and girls middle school basketball. She is very active in volunteer coaching in our local youth programs as well as her son's 3/4th grade travel team.
When it comes to her coaching philosophy, Coach Lee said, "It’s all about working harder than everyone around you. Physical and mental toughness is the most valuable asset players can have. Fans can look to see a fast-paced, aggressive, style of play this year. These ladies are a young group, ready to get to work, and I’m ready to be right beside them every step of the way."
