WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — Basketball has been a part of Brandon Wallace’s life from the get-go,
His dad was a longtime coach in Augusta, putting in more thn 30 years in the business/
Brandon won a state championship at Silver Bluff and was named the 2003 Gatorade Player of the Year. Wallace signed with Dave Odom and South Carolina where he won back-to-back NIT championships in 2005 and 2006.
His overseas professional career ended in 2014 and that led his entry into coaching. He has been on the bench at Gray Collegiate Academy and for the past three seasons, Wallace has had a front row seat for the three consecutive Class 2A state championships.
When former Gamecock Ashley Bruner stepped down as the girls head coach at Gray Collegiate Academy, Wallace took over as the interim head coach for the summer. After meshing with the players, he was offered the job on a full-time basis which he accepted. This will mark his first head coaching opportunity.
