Texas Tech's World Series Run: A Father's Faith, a Daughter's Legacy

Texas Tech's improbable run to the Women's College World Series has captivated fans and brought attention to the team's remarkable story. At the heart of this story is Head Coach Gerry Glasco, who believes his late daughter, Geri Ann, is watching over the team. Geri Ann, who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2019, was a talented softball player herself. "It feels like she's with us," Glasco said in a recent interview. This sentiment is echoed by Sam Landry, a former player of Glasco's who now plays for Oklahoma. Landry, who wore number 12 in honor of Geri Ann during her time at Louisiana, chose number 21 at Oklahoma because her preferred number was taken. The team's success, culminating in their first-ever appearance in the championship series, is a testament to the team's spirit and the enduring legacy of Geri Ann Glasco. The team's journey is a reminder that the bonds of family can transcend even the greatest challenges.
