TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The girls' basketball coaching vacancy at Lincoln High is no longer open and a familiar face will once again be gracing local courts. On Thursday, Trojans' athletic director Paul O'Halloran hired former Florida A&M University head coach Claudette Farmer to replace Hattie McCreless, who resigned in April.
"It's not every day that you have a chance to hire someone that's succeeded as a head coach at the (Division I) level," O'Halloran said. "We feel very fortunate that we were able to make the hire."
Farmer's Big Bend roots stretch back to being a player for Rickards, then its head coach for a decade during the 1980’s, before taking the reins of FAMU's program and leading the Rattlers to three regular season MEAC titles, two MEAC Tournament titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances in 11 years.
