"Coach Lemmond!"

On May 7, 2011 one of our very own said "I DO!"

One of our assistant coaches, Andrea Ward, became "Coach Lemmond" in a beautiful ceremony held at her family home in Evergreen, AL! A former Samford Women's Basketball player herself married another Samford alum in Graham Lemmond who played football for the Bulldogs from 2004-2007! In true Samford style it quickly became a reunion that included 14 former players and of course our head Coach Mike Morris who coached most of them during their time here!

Among those 14 former teammates and players, three served as bridesmaids for the occasion, Clarissa Clarke, Morgan Vickery and Candace Jones along with other assistant coach Katherine Katz. The ceremony lasted about twenty minutes with Coach Lemmond being carried in a horse drawn carriage from her family home and was then escorted down the aisle by her father! In true southern style, Coach Lemmond sported her cowboy boots throughout the evening!

It was a night to remember and a great night for Samford Women's Basketball as we welcome another member to our family in Graham! Congrats Lemmond Family!
