     Former basketball coach and Round Rock ISD administrator Susan Brown lost her courageous battle with cancer on November 1, 2011. She had her 50th birthday the day before she died.

     Susan was a native of Louisiana and was an all-state basketball and softball player in high school and played college basketball at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where she was the team MVP leading the Lady Tigers to the NAIA playoffs. She earned her Master’s degree in Education from Northeast Louisiana University. Susan coached basketball for fourteen years, first in Louisiana and later at Leander, Austin SFA and Temple with her Temple teams in the late ‘90’s, making long playoff runs. She became an administrator in Temple and Round Rock ISD. She was assistant superintendent of Human Resources Services in Round Rock at the time of her passing.

Blake Brown from Cedar Park High School contacted me the other day looking for old gyms and I want to help him out. He is doing research for this and is looking for old gyms all across Texas that are still standing. They may or may not be still in use. I am sure that many of the old gyms that are still standing are now elementary or junior high gyms. Coach Brown is going to research these gyms for the unique history behind them. He will also get to as many as possible for pictures. Lets help Coach Brown out and preserve some history of high school basketball in Texas!

Testimonials:

"Having the chance to play at The Toyota Center as part of an NBA double header with the Houston Rockets was an outstanding experience for our team.  The excitement and attention it has brought to our basketball program at Fort Bend Christian Academy has been incredible.  The staffs at Toyota Center and the entire Rockets organization were great to work with.  We look forward to teaming up with the Rockets again this year, and for years to come."  Jon Froelich, Head Girls Basketball Coach - Fort Bend Christian Academy

"It was an AMAZING experience we had when my 7th and 8th grade boys' basketball teams played a middle school game at Toyota Center. The game afterward was simply icing on the cake. I had 4 kids who have NEVER been to a professional basketball game. You made about 35 kids and coaches really happy that day. That's priceless. Thank you so much for this great experience." Gary Kansas, Basketball Coach – Hamilton Middle School
