She was named TABC all-state as junior, leading the Lionettes to the 4A state tournament. Walker-Brown was a part of two teams at Texas Tech that qualified for the NCAA tournament. She is the winningest coach in the history of Beaumont Ozen, where her teams have won 11 consecutive district titles and advanced to the state tournament in 2011.

Harris was a multi-sport star at McKinney High School who played football collegiately at Texas Tech and professionally for the Denver Gold of the USFL and Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons of the NFL. In his second season with Denver he led the team in receiving with 101 catches for 1,432 yards and eight TDs. His older brother, Jamie, was inducted into the Hall of Honor in 2016.

Serio served as swim and dive coach for MHS for 33 years. Upon his retirement in June 2016, McKinney ISD named the district’s natatorium in his honor. A recipient of the Texas Swimming Coaches Association Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011, Serio guided his teams to nine district championships and four region championships. He was named district coach of the year 15 times and region coach of the year five times.
