Stelley Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Per Tim Hayes, Some devastating news as Lebanon High School coach Travis Hooker passed away on Sunday. His cross country squads won state titles in 2022, 2023. He coached Lebanon's girls hoops teams the past two seasons after being longtime assistant. Very unexpected news in the community Quote
1inStripes Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 A fellow Russell County coach made me aware last night. Sad to learn. Prayers for his family. Quote
Fairlawncat Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Was Travis any kin to Brian Hooker? I played against Brian Hooker once (thankfully only once) in a summer league/round robin scrimmage basketball event in the late 80s. He dropped 46 points on my Bobcats squad and hit about 10 three pointers. I think Brian might have become the AD at one point at Lebanon. Brian is one of the best HS pure shooters I ever did see.

Different set of Hookers I think, maybe cousins of anything. Travis was from the Bristol area and graduated from Battle. I can attest that he was a pretty funny guy to be around, also had some pretty mean XC teams there for 3-4 years or so Fairlawncat 1 Quote
