The Holiday Classic is getting closer. Make sure you make plans now to attend.
Mr. Wolff’s 5th grade class teamed up with Mrs. Dotson’s 2nd grade class to write 12-sentence holiday stories, and everyone had a great time collaborating and sharing some holiday cheer!
Congrats to Michelle Holman – Dadeville High School / Southwest Baptist University & HS Girls BB Assistant Coach |
In the mid-1990s, Dadeville fielded several talented girls basketball teams under coach Brett Soden, highlighted by the 1997 squad that advanced to the Class 1 Final Four and finished fourth in the state tournament. Known for her deep 3-pointers, Holman scored 2,820 career points and led the Ozarks in scoring for three consecutive seasons. Her total included a then-state record 285 3-pointers and 1,189 career rebounds (10.8 rpg). A three-time First Team All-State selection, she remains the only player in Dadeville history to have her jersey retired. In 1997, she was also recognized as USA TODAY’s Missouri Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Holman continued her basketball journey with one season each at Southwest Baptist University and State Fair Community College before channeling her passion for the game into a lifelong commitment to developing young athletes. For more than two decades, she has coached girls basketball at the grade school, junior high, and high school levels. At Walnut Grove, she has spent over a decade on the sidelines as an assistant coach for both the middle school and high school programs, with earlier coaching stops at Hollister High School (three seasons) and Omaha, Arkansas (one season). Holman is the proud mother of two daughters, Kelli and Kolbi.
