Personal Profile
My name is Troy Gillespie. I teach Physics and I also coach Girl’s Basketball at Westside. I grew up in Port Aransas, TX where there isn’t anything to do but go to the beach or play basketball. I played all five sports my high school had to offer and made it to regionals in all five my senior year. I played football for three years for Abilene Christian University where I graduated in 2001 with a degree in composite science. After football, I was a player and then a player/coach, for Abilene Christian’s soccer team. After college I played one year of semi-professional football before I started working here at Westside. I have coached girl’s basketball for seven years. I am the head Girl’s Basketball coach and I couldn’t be any happier. In the past three years my team has had a record of 90-20, we have won 2 district championships, and been in the regional finals twice. It is rare that you find yourself doing something that you truly love and get paid for it, but I guess I am just lucky! Today I am trying to better my team, my students, and myself for a future full of intangibles.
