We got one of the best coaches in the city of Houston in the house today with the hardware to prove it: 2021-2022 14-6A DISTRICT COACH OF THE YEAR, representing Aldine Nimitz HS, Kendra Venzant aka Coach K!
growing up in Houston's 5th Ward playing ball at the park against grown men
playing under legendary coach Debbie Jackson at Nimitz and the one year she spent playing alongside WNBA Superstar Brittney Griner
the fun of playing ball at Kilgore Junior College and finding her path as a coach at Huston-Tillotson University
starting her coaching career at Aldine HS on a staff with 4 future head coaches and everything she learned under coaching mentor Jennifer Salazar
Coach K loves her some point guard play, listen as she plays 2 entertaining rounds of Start/Bench/Cut with names like Penny, Stockton, Kidd, Nash, CP3, and Morant
it was a storybook year for the Nimitz Cougars, listen as Coach K and Kovo recount long-distance dimes, going back to fundamentals in pre-game, crazy good fan support, surprise post-game water bottle celebrations, and the beginnings of a legacy of Floor Generals at "Point Guard High"
