Hannah Scantling was your average high school student growing up in Waldron. She played basketball and volleyball and lived for the game. During high school, Hannah already knew what she wanted to do after college. Coach. She got her inspiration from her high school basketball and volleyball coach, Coach Mo. “I saw how passionate she was about the game and the excitement she displayed on the sideline and I knew that was something I wanted to be a part of after college.” Coach Scantling is in her second year coaching at her Alma Mater and her first year being a 7th grade and Jr High Head Coach. “Being a Bulldog is so special to me,” says Coach Scantling.
Coach Hannah Scantling also drew her inspiration to coach from her dad. He wasn’t “certified” in coaching but he was Hannahs biggest supporter and coach growing up. He taught her everything she knows about basketball. Coach Scantlings dad not only taught her how to play basketball and to really love the game but he was also there almost every weekend cheering her on as she played. “I have always had the heart to help people and coaching gives me the perfect opportunity to do that. Whether its pushing someone to their fullest potential, lending a helping hand, or just being a listening ear, my girls know that they can always come to me,” expresses Coach Scantling.
