Lady Dragons Coaches

Head Coach Kristopher Wood

Kristopher Wood, a former Paris Junior College student, returned to his alma mater after he was named head coach of the Lady Dragons women’s basketball program in May 2007.

Wood came to PJC from Hill College, where he led his final team to a 17-14 overall record and a trip to the Region V Playoffs. That team concluded its season with a loss to the eventual National Champions of Odessa College.

While at Hill, Wood’s teams improved consistently over his three-year tenure as head coach, with his teams maintaining solid academics. His 2005-2006 team was honored with an All-Academic Achievement Award which is given to teams with GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Wood attended Paris Junior College and Kilgore College upon graduating from Chisum High School in Paris, Texas. He continued his education at Texas A&M University - Commerce where he earned a bachelor of arts in mathematics. From Commerce, he traveled to Hill College as an assistant coach and to attend graduate school at Baylor University.

Wood received his master of science in education from Baylor in 2005.

While at Harding, she helped the Lady Bisons to their first-ever appearance in the Gulf South Conference Tournament by compiling a 19-10 record.

Prior to her time at Harding University she coached 5th- and 6th-grade girl’s basketball and was the assistant coach for the North Arkansas Lightning AAU team.

Taylor earned her bachelor’s in kinesiology/athletic training from the University of Central Arkansas and was on the women’s golf team there.
