More than 40 years after he coached his last DeKalb County High School basketball game, the late legendary coach Harold Luna will be recognized during tonight’s (Monday night) DCHS basketball games as they play host to Cannon County.
Last year, the Board of Education voted to name the DCHS gym floor in honor of Coach Luna, who passed away in December, 2022 at the age of 85.
A brief ceremony will be held Monday night (tonight) between the boys and girls games to dedicate the naming of the gym floor in honor of Coach Luna.
Luna coached both boys and girls at DeKalb County High School from 1964-69, then began coaching the boys program only until 1984. His total record was 516-179.
The girls game tips off at 6 p.m. followed by the boys game. WJLE will broadcast LIVE.
