Texas Tech Coach Krista Gerlich Inducted into Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025

Lubbock, Texas – In a remarkable achievement for women’s basketball, Texas Tech head coach Krista Gerlich has been selected for induction into the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. This announcement came on Wednesday, celebrating Gerlich as one of four former players to be honored, alongside four esteemed coaches. The induction ceremony is scheduled for May 10, 2025, in San Antonio.

The Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) Executive Director Johnnie B. “Hawk” Carter remarked on the significance of this year’s honorees, stating, “Excellence is the best word to describe the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025. These eight men and women have left a lasting legacy on the high school hardwood with their victories, records and honors. They have also been great off-the-court ambassadors for basketball both within and outside the state of Texas.”

Coach Gerlich had an impressive high school career as a three-time All-State player while attending Sudan and Spearman high schools. Additionally, she was pivotal in her school’s success, winning state titles in cross country and excelling as an All-State track star. Her outstanding collegiate achievements include leading Texas Tech to its only national championship in basketball in 1993.

Other incoming members of the 2025 class include notable names such as LaQuan Stallworth, Darryn Shearmire, and Greg Kite as players, and coaches Danny Nix, Stan Leech, Pamela Crawford, and Tommy Aldridge.

This recognition highlights not only the individual accomplishments of these athletes and coaches but also their commitment to promoting and growing the sport of basketball in Texas.
