Greensboro College Women’s Basketball Tops Monarchs For Fourth Straight Win:GC Pride Coach Randy Tuggle out of action due to Blood Pressure issues

**********The Greensboro College women’s basketball team earned their fourth straight win today, with that victory coming on their home court at Hanes Gym, but part of the bigger story facing the GC Pride right now, might be the fact that GC Pride Coach Randy Tuggle has been out of action due to blood pressure issues over the past two games/days, after being hospitalized last Thursday night…

Coach Tuggle was treated for the blood pressure issues and released, then he returned to the GC Pride bench on Saturday, but he has turned the coaching over to Pride assistants Vontreece Hayes and Johnny Richardson for the past two games and Coach Tuggle, the former Northwest Guilford Viking basketball and baseball player, he has been on the bench, but leaving the coaching to to his top two aides, Hayes and Richardson…

Time to monitor those blood pressure issues for several days and here’s hoping Coach Tuggle will be back at full strength soon…We received an E-mail last night from a concerned GreensboroSports.com follower/reader and figured it was time to get to the bottom of this situation and we did, contacting a key official with the Greensboro College game-day basketball staff this afternoon and now we know and you know, “The Rest of the Story”…

Blood Pressure issues are serious health business and our thoughts go out to Coach Tuggle, as he battles this problem and again hoping he will be back at it, full strength soon….**********

Now on to the details of Sunday afternoon’s game and here is Wes Gullett, with that sports information……
