Coach Reasor was a math instructor at Holt High School in Tuscaloosa, that’s when she began building her coaching resume. Coach Reasor served as the Head girls’ basketball coach at Holt for 3 years. The team was very young and her last year there they were area runners up. Coach Reasor wanted to return to her roots and left Tuscaloosa to accept a math position at Huffman, her home.

When a position became available for an assistant coaching position for basketball she immediately jumped on it. Coach Reasor has served as assistant coach and head coach over her tenure at Huffman.
