In recognition of her outstanding play during the 2018-2019 season, Mackenzie Holmes’ (GHS ’19) Gorham Rams jersey will hang from the rafters of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, TN.
In a letter to Coach Laughn Berthiaume, Josh Sullivan, Director of Basketball Operations & Technology, said the Hall would like to “borrow” Holmes’ jersey to display in their “Ring of Honor” which provides a colorful backdrop for the Hall and recognizes some young basketball players for their achievements in the sport.

With that having been the case since the Hall of Fame opened in 1999, you can imagine the caliber of players’ jerseys that have once hung in our rafters. Without a doubt, Mackenzie Holmes is definitely a part of the elite group, and a part of history now too!” Sullivan said.
