Today, a memorial dedication ceremony was held for the late Coach Anthony “Coach Dickie” Sims in front of family, friends, and the KHS Boys Basketball Team. Coach Dickie tragically passed earlier this year, and it was decided that a permanent memorial would be set up in the trophy case outside the KHS Gym. Emotions were high, as KHS Principal Dr. Steevon Hunter, KHS Boys Basketball Head Coach Terry Glenn, former KHS Head Basketball Coach Charles Frank, KHS Athletics Administrator Mannie Lowery, Coach Dickie’s father, Coach Dickie’s mother, and Dean of Culture Adrian Stitt said a few words about Coach Dickie. The common theme from each speaker was Coach Dickie’s work ethic, loyalty, and steadfast commitment to KHS, the KHS students, and KHS basketball. The memorial was unveiled by Coach Dickie’s son, and his father announced the formation of the Coach Dickie Foundation, a nonprofit organization to fund underprivileged basketball players. This gathering was a testament to Coach Dickie’s legacy and impact he made on this earth.
Thank you, Coach Dickie! You are…
