In his first season, Coach Donte Jackson guided the Tigers to their first SWAC Regular Season Championship in nearly 30 years (1988-1989).

Coach Freddie Murray, who leads Grambling State’s Lady Tigers basketball program, has signed on to continue the team’s SWAC and NCAA recognized work. Murray’s successes include leading Grambling State to its first women’s basketball NCAA Tournament appearance in 19 years and three winning-record seasons.

“Coach Murray’s impact is best seen in the caliber of players his leadership continues to attract and produce,” said Athletic Director Dr. David Ponton. “We know that there are great things ahead for the Lady Tigers.”
