The Butler County High School Athletic Department is excited to announce the selection of Ms. Lexie Smith as the new head varsity girls basketball coach for the 2018-2019 season. Lexie Smith is a 2010 graduate of Butler County High School and was a 4 year varsity player, under coaches Tim Wilson, Stan Murphy and Christy Clark. She continued her education at Western Kentucky University where she earned a bachelor's degree in biology and a minor in psychology. She has also obtained her master's degree from the University of the Cumberlands.
   

Ms.Smith has been employed by the Butler County School district for the past several years working at the high and middle schools. She is currently a 6th grade science teacher at BCMS. She adds a variety of coaching experience in basketball, golf and softball that has prepared her for her new role as head girls basketball coach.  Coach Smith has helped coach basketball at BCHS for 4 years coaching both freshman and JV, under previous head coach, Brian Bivens.

 

"I am confident that Lexie will go above and beyond giving 110% to the varsity girls' basketball program," said BCHS Principal Michael Gruber.  "She has an excellent work ethic and I am confident that she will do great things with her team."


Coach Smith added, “I am eternally grateful to be selected as the head girls basketball coach at Butler County High School. First, I want to give God the glory and thank Him for giving me the love of the game and using me to guide and mentor young ladies to be successful in and off the court. I also want to thank the administration at Butler County High School including Mr. Michael Gruber, Mr. Adam Gish, Athletic Director Brandon Embry, as well as the selection committee for having the confidence in me. Thank you to my fiancé, Noel Belcher and my family for their full support and allowing me to do what I love. Thank you to all of coaches who have taught and mentored me, especially Brian Bivens and Barry Frazier, who have put their trust in me to continue build this program. I am very excited to get started working with this great group of young ladies!”
   

Congratulations to Coach Smith and best of luck for the Butler County Girls Basketball team.
