200th victory milestone celebration for Lady Yellowjacket head coach
Two hundred is the magic number for St. Martin Head Girls Basketball Coach Gina Bell earning 200th victory against D’Iberville last week.
For 25 years, Bell has answered the bell on the hardwood for the Lady Yellowjackets. She sends the message to all of her players, past and present, to never give up.
Bell proved her motives by accomplishing this milestone in her career while battling with breast cancer. Her achievements speak for themselves with appearances in the 2016 Final Four and 2018 Elite Eight for class 6A.
Even with a celebration focused on her, Bell dedicated this moment to those helping her overcome the odds with coaching and her battle with cancer. “Having the kids and girls back me up, my assistant coaches back me up, my family, the fans. Everyone has pushed me and here we are today.”
In addition to Bell’s surprise ceremony, it was also senior night for the Lady Yellowjackets.
