MCKENNA BLANTON

With a dedicated coaching career that began in 2022, I have been actively involved in developing young female athletes in the sport of basketball. My journey started as an assistant coach at Wakefield Middle School, where I collaborated with Coach Richardson to support the girls' team. In the summer of 2023, I further expanded my coaching experience by working with Team Inge's 7th-grade girls AAU basketball team under Coach Roy. Most recently, I served as a coach for Team Excel's 8th-grade girls AAU basketball team under Coach Scott.

I bring over 16 years of basketball experience to my coaching role. My love for the game began in 4th grade when I started playing travel basketball for elite AAU teams. By 8th grade, I had the privilege of playing varsity basketball at Word of God Christian Academy. I completed my high school career at Wakefield High School, where I played varsity basketball for four years under Coach Donald Williams.

My passion lies in coaching and teaching the fundamentals of basketball to young athletes. I find great joy in witnessing their growth and the increase in confidence that comes as their skills improve. I am committed to fostering a positive and supportive environment where each player can thrive and reach their full potential on and off the court.
