Setting the Pace

PERRIN – After 32 years of coaching in Oklahoma, Scott Pace decided he needed a change.

The veteran coach had retired up in Oklahoma but the lure to coaching continued to be too strong, so he came across the Red River to become Perrin’s new girls' basketball coach.

He is no stranger to small school coaching, having spent most of his career doing just that.

“I like (small schools) better because you get to know the kids better,” Pace said.

He graduated from Langston University where he ran track.

He was attending Northwest Oklahoma State but working at Langston during the summer at the historically black school.
