Biographical\/Historical Sketch:<\/em>
\nLily Margaret Wade proved to be a legend in her own time. She was team captain of Delta State
\nCollege\u2019s first female basketball team in 1925. Margaret\u2019s stellar basketball career came to a
\nscreeching halt when the women\u2019s basketball program was eliminated in 1932. Ms. Wade did not
\nlet this setback deter her from her love of the game. She continued her basketball career playing
\nsemi-pro with the Tupelo Red Wings where she served as team captain and ultimately led the
\nteam to the Southern Championship. An unfortunate knee injury ended her playing career after
\nonly two seasons. Margaret Wade knew she would never be separated from the game; she would
\njust have to engage herself in a different capacity. From this revelation, \u201cCoach Wade\u201d emerged.
\nShe coached high school basketball from 1933 to 1954 after which she went into a five year
\nretirement.
\nCoach Wade returned to Delta State College in 1959 as Director of Women\u2019s Physical
\nEducation.In 1973 the women\u2019s basketball program was reinstated at Delta State and Coach
\nWade was appointed head coach by President Aubrey Lucas. Under the direction and leadership
\nof Coach Wade, or \u201cAunt Maggie\u201d as she is often referred to, along with a starting line up that
\nincluded the likes of Lusia Harris (MS Sports Hall of Fame), Debbie Brock, Ramona Von
\nBoeckman, Wanda Hairston, and Cornelia Ward, the Lady Statesmen won three consecutive
\nAIAW National Championships breaking the previous record set by DSU\u2019s ultimate rival
\nImmaculata.
\nDelta State University rode the Margaret \u201cWade Wave\u201d until her retirement in 1979. She has left
\nbehind a trailblazing legacy that will never be forgotten: Margaret Wade Trophy created in her
\nhonor awarded to top women\u2019s college basketball player, first woman enshrined in Mississippi
\nSport Hall of Fame and Delta State University Hall of Fame, enshrined in Mississippi Coaches
\nHall of Fame. Lily Margaret Wade died on February 16, 1995 at age 83; however her name
\nremains synonymous with the \u201cRabbit Foot Squad\u201d of DSU.<\/p>\n
