Payton Farlow
I have had the privilege to help students unlock their personal potential as athletes and young adults going on year number seven. Within those seven years, I have made four high school state championship appearances as well as clinched one middle school conference championship. As a full-time job as a teacher, I get to touch many lives of students not only in the classroom but also as a softball and volleyball coach. My players educational and athletic experience has unparalleled longevity and I want to be just a small part of making it a positive one.

Alyssa Tinsley
I am excited to serve as the Girls' Head Basketball Coach this upcoming season! My number one goal is to help student-athletes grow both on and off the court. I have been coaching for five years, working with volleyball, softball, and now basketball! My passion is helping players develop the fundamental skills and knowledge needed to compete with confidence and reach their potential. Secondly, I strive to be a positive role model, demonstrating respect, accountability, and integrity while building their character and creating habits that will serve them well long after their playing days are over. As a full-time classroom teacher and coach, I value growth, preparation, and consistent effort. In our program, we focus on skill development, teamwork, communication, and understanding the game. I believe that when athletes commit to learning and improving every day, success will follow. I am excited to help our players grow their basketball abilities, compete at a high level, learn valuable life skills, and develop a lifelong appreciation for the game.

As a product of the Long Beach School District and lifelong resident, I am excited to be teaching in the top-rated school district in Mississippi.

Currently, I am teaching 7th grade history at LBMS while also coaching baseball. This will be my tenth year teaching and coaching half of which have been with the Long Beach School District. In addition to Social Studies (7-12), I am also certified in Science (7-8) and Physical Education (K-12).
