My name is Coach Prater and I am the Girls Basketball coach at Echols Middle School.  I am in my second year at Echols Middle School as a PE teacher.  This will be my first year coaching girls basketball.  There will be two assistant coaches this year working with me.  Tyra Ford, who is also an English teacher here at Echols will be assisting.  Also assisting is Mary Kate Graff who is an intern for Ms. Cole's class during the fall semester.  I am looking forward to a great season!
