To say the last three weeks have been a whirlwind for Geneva County girls basketball coach Lacy Holmes would be an understatement.
Holmes gave birth to her second child on Feb. 6 and since then has been busy mixing in motherhood and leading the Lady Dawgs basketball team to the state tournament.
“We watch film and he watches it with me as I take notes in preparing for practice and prepare for these big games,” Holmes said. “That is probably been the most difficult part – is making sure I get enough sleep and enough rest,” Holmes said. “I am on maternity leave so during the day when Bryer naps, I try to get a nap with him to catch up on sleep that I might not get at night.”
The new baby was due to arrive on Feb. 11, but came five days early on the previous Monday, the day the area tournament started. “I wanted to make sure to finish out the season, especially now that we are in the Final Four,” Holmes said. “I am very proud of them, proud of their work ethic they have had all season. I want to see them finish it out and bring home a ring and a blue map to Hartford.”
So far, Bryer has an unbeaten record with Geneva County since his birth. Holmes hopes that continues Monday, but it won’t be easy against a solid Mars Hill Bible team.
