Congratulations to our BMHS Mustang coach and alumni players who were named to the Gazette's All-Decade Sport's Teams.

Women's Basketball

Coach of the Decade:

Rod Hairston, Roosevelt: When Hairston took over at Roosevelt in 1999, the team was one of the county's worst. He turned them into the state's best. After a 2-18 season his first year, Hairston built a powerhouse that tied a Maryland record by winning five consecutive state championships from 2005-2009. Numerous Roosevelt players from the past decade went on to earn college basketball scholarships, including the entire starting lineup of the 2009 team. Hairston left Roosevelt after the 2008-09 season and currently is the girls' basketball coach at Bishop McNamara.
