HillGuy Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 Kit Kyle leaves Flower Mound Marcus to take Girls BB HC/Girls Ath Coordinator position at Barbers Hill. Latest news is that John Chancellor (recently reassigned at BH) has accepted the Girls BB HC position at Crosby. Welcome, Coach Kyle and good luck to Coach Chancellor at Crosby!Kit Kyle bio:Kyle just completed her 14th year as the head coach of the Marcus girls basketball program and the women's athletic coordinator for Marcus High. Coach Kyle's record of excellence includes leading the Marauders to the State Playoffs 10 out of the last 13 years, and to 9 District Championships. She has had the opportunity to coach and develop 47 college scholarship athletes, and as of the end of the 2008-09 season, amassed 342 career wins - all at Marcus. Coach Kyle graduated in three years from the University of North Texas and earned a Master's Degree in Kinesiology from Stephen F. Austin University. While at SFA, she was a graduate assistant coach under Coach Gary Blair, who led the Ladyjacks to a 30-3 record and an NCAA sweet 16 appearance that season. After SFA, Coach Kyle had the opportunity to work for Donna Capps at Crandall High School as a varsity assistant in basketball and as the head boys and girls cross country coach. In 1993, the chance to work as the varsity assistant and JV coach at perennial state power Duncanville arrived. From there, she had the chance to be an assistant at the University of Arkansas, joining forces again with Coach Gary Blair - now the head coach at Texas A&M. After two seasons at Arkansas, Coach Kyle saw the chance to come back to Texas and take over the Marcus program. Her strong leadership, exemplary work ethic, and attention to detail have fostered a dedicated, competitive and fundamentally sound team of girls year in and year out, and has focused on developing young women to achieve excellence not just in basketball, but in every area of their lives.
BH85 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 Spoke to Chancellor yesterday and he is excited about the new opportunity. Good luck to him, except the two times we play the Cougars. Hopefully we can all get behind Coach Kyle and have an even better playoff run next season.
