Lake City Elementary School welcomed back one of its own last week when Shelly Sexton Collier visited with third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade girls.
She talked about being a student at LCES when it went all the way through eighth grade, about being part of the first class to graduate from Anderson
County High School in 1982, about how much she’d enjoyed every stage of her life and how important making good choices had been for her and would be for
them.
She never mentioned that she was being
inducted into the University of Tennessee’s
Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame that night,
never talked about her personal successes or
being captain of the Lady Vols’ first-ever NCAA
championship basketball team.
Instead, she focused on the support
she’d found in school and at home to make good
choices every day.
“You’ll be able to take the things she
says with you the rest of your life,” LCES
Principal John Derek Faulconer said, and he told
the young girls filling the school’s auditorium last
Friday that he’d just given her a tour of her old
school.
“She walked the same hallways you are walking every day, played basketball in the same gym you play in,” Faulconer said.
“I played basketball all the time,” Collier said with a smile.
“The gym smelled exactly the same,” she told the girls, and they giggled at the thought.
“One of the things that gave me confidence growing up was PE. I loved going to school because we had
teachers who cared about us, just like you do.
“The teachers you have can make a huge difference for you,” Collier told them. “Everything you are
doing here will make a difference in your life.”
Collier told the girls she was sure they’d “heard all this before,” but she emphasized the importance of
personal responsibility.
“The one thing you have control over is your choices,” she said. “You have to try your best to do the
best you can.”
“Make today your masterpiece,” she said, quoting legendary UCLA men’s basketball coach John
Wooden and holding up a copy of his book on leadership.
Collier, who was a senior and captain of the team when the Lady Vols won their first-ever NCAA title in
1987, is assistant athletic director and head girls’ basketball coach at The Webb School in Knoxville, where she
has worked for 14 years.
After graduating from UT, she taught and coached at Clinton High School for four years before returning
to UT for her master’s degree and working as a graduate assistant with her former coach, Pat Head Summitt.
Third-grader Leigha Mozingo shared “I learned that no job is too big and no job is too small,” she said of her second trip through the UT basketball
a moment with Shelly Sexton Collier program.
after Friday’s presentation at Lake “I went from being a player to doing the players’ laundry,” she said as the girls laughed.
City Elementary School. Before taking the position at Webb, where she coached current Lady Vol player and Lake City native
Faith Dupree, she also coached and taught at
Karns High School for five years.
She is the mother of four daughters, and talked to the girls of Lake City as if they were
her own.
“It’s easy to do your best when things are going well,” she said. “It’s when things are not
going your way that your true character shows.
“You have to choose to do your best,” she said with firm emphasis, again, on choice.
Collier, one of six children, talked with the girls about resisting pressure from those who
would influence them to make bad decisions.
“If your friends are really friends, they aren’t going to talk you into doing things that are
wrong. Stand on your own two feet,” she said.
“I was just like you, and you, and you,” she said, pointing out girls who were sitting in rapt
attention. “Same education, same opportunities, same choices. I chose the positive.”
Lake City Elementary School is part of the Anderson County Schools system, which
serves 6800 students in nine elementary schools, four middle schools, two high schools, a career
and technical center, a K-12 alternative school, and a pre-school/Head Start program. The school Photo caption: Shelly Sexton Collier smiles with
