Glendale stands to lose a fixture on the sideline at Falcon Court.
The Falcons have a saying that, “the flock is family,” and no one quite embodies the phrase like girls basketball coach Renee Temple. She confirmed her plan to retire from coaching at Glendale on Tuesday afternoon.
“I've coached 33 years for Springfield Public Schools, 26 of them at Glendale. It was a difficult decision, but one that I feel peace about,” Temple said in an email to the News-Leader.
Temple spent 26 years at her high school alma mater. The girls basketball team went undefeated through the regular season and finished 26-1.
