Perfect 10: Girl's basketball coach gives birth the day after district win

Katie Moore is the head coach of the girl's basketball team at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School and gave birth the morning after leading the team to a big win.

GATLINBURG, Tenn. — "A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime," Billy Graham once said.

Katie Moore, head coach of the girl's basketball team at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School, may have already done that — less than a month into 2020.

On Jan. 11, Coach Moore led the Lady Highlanders to a district win, helping her team earn a victory while she was 40 weeks pregnant.

The next morning, Coach Moore gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Ja'kee. He is not the first son to be born following a big win, though.

Two years ago, her husband coached the boy's team at the same high school and led them to the state tournament. Right after that, she gave birth to their first son — RJ.
