Potts Doesn’t Budge on Family Matters

Glenda Potts, Highland High’s softball coach, was missing Saturday when the Bulldogs defeated perennial powers Quartz Hill, 3-1, and Hart, 1-0, to win the Hart tournament.

Potts was in Vancouver, Wash., serving as maid of honor at the wedding of her sister, Erika.

“There are priorities in life,” Potts said. “Family comes before softball.”
