The Alabama State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, & Dance (ASAHPERD) awarded Rodney Dorsey, girls basketball coach at Jackson-Olin High School, with its Legacy Grant of $500 to commemorate the organization's 100th anniversary.
Coach Dorsey's application and six others were selected among more than 40 submissions. He plans to use the funds to establish a pickleball court for the school.
ASAHPERD representative Wanda Gilmore (a retired physical education teacher who served Birmingham City Schools for 25 years), BCS K-12 Physical Education Program Specialist Dr. Sherri Huff, and Jackson-Olin Principal Jesse Daniel presented Coach Dorsey with the check during a surprise presentation held today at the school.
