Senate Joint Resolution 1584 honors Annette Watts, the head coach of the Greeneville High School Lady Devils, for being named The Greeneville Sun's Girls' Basketball Coach of the Year. Despite facing significant challenges, including the loss of five seniors and four starters from the previous season, Coach Watts led her team to a remarkable turnaround. After a rough start with a 5-10 record, the Lady Devils won ten of their next thirteen games, finishing the regular season at 15-13. Under her guidance, the team not only competed fiercely in the District 2 3A championship but also excelled in regional competition, ultimately securing a spot in the state tournament.

The resolution emphasizes Coach Watts's exceptional leadership, tactical skills, and ability to motivate her players, which contributed to the team's success during what many anticipated would be a challenging year. The General Assembly expresses its admiration for her accomplishments and extends best wishes for her continued success both on the court and in life. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, recognizing her significant contributions to high school athletics.
