Women's Basketball Press Release:

March 10, 2008: 
Grand Rapids Press names Tracy Little "Coach of the Year".

     In just her first year as a varsity coach, former KVCC player and graduate Tracy Little has accomplished something that many will never have the opportunity to experience.  Her Comstock Park team went 18-3 on the season and won the OK Blue Conference Championship - they did it by taking care of the "Little" things.  Sorry about the pun!
     "Even as an undergraduate at Kalamazoo Valley, Tracy was always a detail person." commented Cougar Coach Ron Welch.  "She was one of the first gals we recruited and was a really good player.  You could tell by her work ethic and attitude that she was going to be successful at whatever it was she wanted to do."  Little was also in the Honors program at KVCC and was one of the first Academic All-Americans during Welch's term at Valley.
     "We had a chance to get up and watch one of Comstock Park's games during the season and we were really impressed with how they played." continued Welch.  "They were structured and focused you could tell they had been well drilled, but they were also having fun doing what they were doing.  I think all of that is a tribute to a very good young coach.  We are VERY proud of her."
