FSU's Bess taking basketball reins at alma mater

LAWNDALE, North Carolina  -- “…There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home…”

Former Burns High basketball standout Joreka Bess is certainly going to put that notion to the test this coming winter. She might not click her heels to do it but Bess will be bouncing a few basketballs and blowing a whistle in familiar territory.

That’s because Bess has been named the new girls’ head basketball coach at her alma mater, Burns High principal Chris Blanton announced this week.
The 1999 Burns High graduate was a standout on the court and off during her playing days. A four-year varsity performer for the Bulldogs and coach Tommy Pruett, she was a three-time all-conference selection and earned Southwestern Conference Player of the Year honors during her senior season.
