Myers Park High School Welcomes New Boys’ Basketball Coach

In a swirl of activity that underscores the ever-changing landscape of high school sports, the vibrant city of Charlotte is buzzing with the news of a new boys’ basketball coach at Myers Park High School. This exciting transition comes following the resignation of Andrew Glover, who decided to step down from his position after just one season.

Transition Time

Glover’s resignation took many by surprise when it was announced on a quiet Monday afternoon. Having taken the reins from the long-loved coach Scott Taylor in May 2024, Glover had high hopes for the season but ultimately decided to pursue a different opportunity that he felt was right for him. His heartfelt parting message to the team reflected gratitude for the rewarding year he spent with them.

Meet Dorionte “Dory” Hines

Stepping into the spotlight is the well-respected Dorionte “Dory” Hines, who has been appointed as the new head coach of the Mustangs. Hines isn’t a stranger to the program; he served as Glover’s assistant last season and led the junior varsity team to great success. Having a familiar face at the helm is sure to provide a sense of continuity and stability as the players adjust to another coaching change.

An Impressive Background

Hines brings a wealth of experience to the coaching desk. This talented coach has had considerable experience as a player and a mentor, ranging from high school to collegiate levels. He previously held the head coach position at Mount Olive University, where he cultivated the skills of young athletes at the NCAA Division II level. Hines hails from Kinston, N.C., and embarked on his coaching journey in 2014 as an assistant coach at Arendell Parrott Academy.

A Proven Track Record

Having become the head coach at Arendell Parrott Academy in 2017, Hines went on to contribute to teams at Lander University and UNC-Pembroke as an assistant coach. As a player at Mount Olive, he wasn’t just making up the numbers; he was a four-year captain leading his team and stands tall among the school’s all-time leaders in rebounds and assists. This attributes both a deep passion for basketball and an ability to connect with young athletes, making his appointment an encouraging choice.

The Path Ahead

Last season, under Glover’s leadership, the Mustangs found their rhythm after a shaky start. They won three consecutive games to make a run in the N.C. 4A playoffs, ultimately finishing the season with a respectable 17-13 record and have boasted a streak of eight consecutive winning seasons. The team’s recent achievements are a testament to their resilience and talent, offering Hines a solid foundation to build upon.

A New Era Begins

As the Mustangs gear up for the upcoming basketball season, fans and players alike are buzzing with anticipation, eager to see how Coach Hines will lead the team. His extensive background and experience promise to steer the Mustangs toward new heights, offering hope that the winning tradition will continue.

The changes we see at Myers Park High School embody the dynamic world of high school sports, where each new appointment brings fresh possibilities and a renewed sense of excitement. Here’s to hoping that Coach Hines can guide the Mustangs to another successful season! May the spirit of the Mustangs roar louder than ever as they charge into this new chapter.
