GSU Head Women's Basketball Coach Tonishea Mack Commented on Tabetha's record game.
“I am enormously grateful to be a small part of her journey. She has worked extremely hard to get to this point and it is only beneficial that her hard work is paying off with how our team is performing. No one has to tell her how to be successful, or to work hard, that is just who she is. She loves this game and she great at it. People do not see all the work she puts into performing the way that she does and all she cares about is if the team wins. She is one of the most coachable, humble players that I have had the pleasure to coach, and I couldn’t be more excited for what she is doing for herself, the team, and our program," said Coach Tmack.
