Coach Martin
In just her third year as Head Coach for BMCC, Coach Martin led the Timberwolves to the most program wins in 12 years, including the 3rd most in program history. This season the team averaged 72 points per game which was the 7th highest in the entire NWAACC. Coach Martin looks to build on her programs success, with the majority of her team returning for the 2011-2012 season including the team’s top five scorers and first team all-league player Stephanie Lopez.
She holds her student athletes to the highest level in the classroom the community and on the court. “I believe wholeheartedly that our athletes be as well rounded as possible. My goal is that every athlete leaves our program a better person. I feel it is my obligation to better prepare my athletes to be the very best citizens possible.” The past 3 years the Timberwolves have been involved in numerous volunteer activities including raising $500.00 for the Meza Family who lost their home in a house fire, facilitating the donation of a car to that same family, selling Christmas Wreaths for orphans in Rwanda, putting on a free basketball clinic for Pendleton youths, and doing a work party for the local women’s shelter. They also raised nearly $2,000 for breast cancer sufferers in our area, “trick or treated” for canned food bringing in hundreds of pounds of canned goods, and held a sweatshirt drive for the women’s shelter.
Coach Martin began her coaching career at Ferris High School in 2002 where she helped lead the Saxons to a 3rd place finish in the 4A state tournament. The following year she saw even more success where she was the assistant coach at nationally ranked Central Valley High School two seasons. While at Central Valley the Bears tied a state record 56-game win streak, winning the League Championship, district championship and finishing second in the 4A state tournament.
In 2003 Coach Martin was hired as the Head Coach at Liberty High in Spangle Washington. Coach Martin took over a struggling program that had only won 2 games the year prior to her arriving. In just three years Martin’s team compiled a 60-22 record, including a League Championship, District Championship and Regional Championship and also took the team to state for the first time in seventeen years in her final season at Liberty.
In 2008 Coach Martin moved to Walla Walla to help assist her alma mater Walla Walla Community College. While at WWCC the Warriors finished 4th in the NWAACC tournament. Coach Martin is currently third on the all-time assists list at WWCC, and she is second on the all-time assists per game category. After graduating from Walla Walla, Coach Martin earned a basketball scholarship at Cal-State Stanislaus, before transferring to Eastern Washington University, where she earned a degree in Health Fitness Education.
