Sara Hammond hired as assistant at Union U. -- TUESDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

HAMMOND JOINS BULLDOGS STAFF

Add yet another branch to the Jeff Walz coaching tree.

Sara Hammond, who played for the Cards from 2011-15 has accepted the assistant coaching job at Union University...a Jackson, TN. school that participates in NCAA DII and Gulf South Athletics. 

Hammond, who was 13th. on the all time scoring list going into the 2016-17 season with 1249 points and the Cards leading rebounder in the 2012-13 and 2014-15 seasons, had been playing overseas in Germany with the SV Halle Lions. One of her teammates was 2016 UK graduate Janee Thompson. 

Hammond joins a squad that went 17-12 in 2016-17 and graduates five seniors. The head coach of the Bulldogs is Mark Campbell...who just finished his 18th. season at the school as skipper. 

In Sara's time at Louisville, she was known as a hard worker who controlled the paint for the Cards and was a part of the 2013 squad that defeated Baylor and went to the National Championship game. Those hard-working skills will translate over well into the coaching profession, along with Sara's vast knowledge of the game. 

Brooksie's...best barbecue and buffet in Jackson, TN

Union University is a four year, liberal arts, evangelical christian-based private university that suffered extensive damage when a tornado rolled through in 2008. It is also close to one of Paulie's favorite places to dine in Tennessee...Brooksie's Barn....off Oil Well Road outside of Jackson. 

Brooksie's was a "must stop" back in the days of driving to Memphis to watch the Cards play football and hoops against the Tigers. If you like ribs, barbecue and buffet-style dining...this is the place to go in Jackson. 

We wish Sara the best of luck with the Bulldogs...as she goes into the coaching career field. We think she'll be a great one!
