Coach Tara Helton's style of play is parallel with the Varsity game plan. Coach "T" as she is known, incorporates the same high-octane offensive system that tries to force other teams to play up-tempo. Coach "T" wants to press on every opportunity. She stresses the utilization of using the entire eighty-four feet court and turning opponents miscues into explosive offensive output.
Coach "T" is responsible for individual guard workouts, calling inbound plays, scouting opponents, paperwork, and preparing JV players for varsity level of play.
Tara feels she is very blessed to have the opportunity to coach basketball with her husband, Steve. She has a tremendous passion for the game of basketball. Tara enjoys coaching and molding young ladies into great basketball players as well as preparing them for their futures. Her success stems from placing faith in God and never giving up. Coach Tara Helton's husband, Steve, is the head varsity coach of the Scott County Lady Cards. Tara's parents are Betty and Bob Young of Irvine, KY., and Tony Sewell of Richmond, KY.
