Misty Pierceall Lawson, one of the better players in Mayfield's girls' basketball history, has been named as the Lady Cardinals' new coach. Lawson, a longtime assistant, will replace former head coach Don Hubbard, who will be the school's new principal.
Lawson was Hubbard's top assistant for several years, but sat out last season after having a second child and was planning on returning to the bench next season.
She was the lead guard on Mayfield's 1994 squad that reached the semifinals of the All A Classic state tournament and later knocked off Marshall County in the first round of the district tournament; a win that sent shockwaves through the First Region. Lawson later played four seasons at Murray State.
We'll have more on the hiring in Friday's Sun.
