Local Coach Gets National Honor

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — A national honor is helping to ease some state playoff pain for one local high school basketball coach. Thursday, Spring Valley girls coach Anne Long was selected to coach in the prestigious McDonald’s All-American game. Long will coach the East team. Vikings senior Xylina McDaniel was recently selected to play in the March 28th game in Chicago. Spring Valley missed out on a fourth straight state championship game appearance when Dorman knocked them out of the playoffs last Saturday. Long has a career 758-183 record with six state championships.
