COACH TIP MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM: Lewisburg High School renamed its high school gymnasium in honor of its late basketball coach Adam Tipton before Friday’s game against Olive Branch. In a ceremony before the girls’ game, the gymnasium has been named “Coach Tip Memorial Gymnasium.” Tipton passed away after a brief illness just before the start of the season. He assumed both boys’ and girls’ coaching positions last season and was about to start his second season in that capacity when he passed away.
Awesome night for Lewisburg as they renamed their gym in honor former coach Adam Tipton! It was a honor to contribute to memorializing my friend.. @TheBurgSportspic.twitter.com/upVxFKS5Y6
