Head Boys Basketball Coaching Transition
In addition to welcoming new Head Volleyball Coach Brandy Bolton, Gainesville High School has filled additional head coaching positions through internal leadership transitions.
Coach Shon Adams will transition into the role of Head Boys Basketball Coach while continuing his responsibilities as Director of Athletic Facilities. The upcoming season will mark Coach Adams’ ninth year as a head basketball coach.
Most recently, Coach Adams served as Head Girls Basketball Coach for the Lady Leopards, stepping into the role midway through the 2023–2024 season, and leading that team to a playoff appearance.
Before returning to Gainesville, Coach Adams spent five years as Head Boys Basketball Coach at All Saints Episcopal School, where he guided the program to the TAPPS 5A State Semifinals in his fourth season. During that time, he also served as Offensive Coordinator, helping the football program earn two SPC Football State Championships.
Coach Adams’ journey has come full circle as he returns to lead the program where his basketball career began. A 1991 graduate of Gainesville High School, he was the starting point guard for the Leopards and a member of the 1989-1990 team, which was the first GHS team to advance to the UIL State Basketball Tournament.
