Georgia basketball coach Joni Taylor gives birth to girl
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Georgia coach Joni Taylor has given birth to a girl less than 12 hours after leading the Lady Bulldogs to a victory.
The Bulldogs said in a release Tuesday that Taylor is resting comfortably with her second child, Drew Simone Taylor. Her husband Drew and their older daughter Jacie welcomed Drew at 7:29 a.m. on Tuesday.
Taylor thanked ''everyone in the Georgia community for your prayers and encouragement during this happy season of our lives'' in a statement. ''I am thrilled that Drew will be surrounded by so many special people, and that she will be a part of the Bulldog family.''
Taylor led Georgia to a 78-56 win over Mississippi on Monday night. There are no immediate plans for when she will return to the team. Associate head coach Karen Lange is overseeing the Lady Bulldogs (15-10) in her absence.
