They actually said yes and the gym is going to be named after Coach Gibson. I am shaking typing this because the board just voted in our favor and it feels like she is smiling down on all of us right now. Keep your eyes peeled for the sign going …

In our greatest efforts, we are asking you to consider signing this petition to name the Manning Junior High School Gymnasium after the late Coach Premuel Crosby Gibson. This name will not only preserve her legacy, but honor her 40+ years of unwavering dedication to Manning Athletics and the community as a whole. She has been a COACH, mother figure, and mentor to so many over the course of the years. With your support, we can let her legacy reign throughout Clarendon County.
It was 1967 when Mrs. Gibson found her way to the beautiful town of Manning, SC and began her career at Manning Training School. Her footprints run across female sports...basketball, softball, and track & field at the middle school level as the head coach.
Mrs. Gibson was a staple in this community for four decades. It's undeniable the impact that Mrs. Gibson had upon so many people.
It is way past time! Now is the time to repay and honor Coach Premuel Crosby Gibson's legacy.

I was looking at the board just now and realized we are staring down the triple digits which feels wild because remember when this was just a thought in my head. If everyone who sees this could ping just a couple folks who played for her or knew her back in the day then I think we can hit that mark before the end of the night.

Played basketball on her team and she was also my cheerleading coach. She was a great role model and I knew she expected the best conduct from me on and off the court. I had many influential teachers but she had the greatest impact on my life. She earned and deserves this honor!
We were coworkers at Manning Middle School. Mrs Gibson was the most dedicated worker that I have ever met. We worked at Manning Middle School from the beginning of the school until the very end of the middle school. The gym should definitely be named after her.
She was an amazing teacher and person. She taught me and she taught my mother when she was in middle school. I feel enormously blessed to have known her and even more so that have dodged those keys thrown at me! Haha! It was a lot of fun having class with her and OJ at the same time! They have an awesome family! Mrs Gibson truly deserves this honor!
Well deserve, I am who I am today because of Coach Gibson. Without Coach Gibson, there is no Coach Blanding. In my 15 years of coaching I have touched and changed so many life's.
Mrs.G as I always called her was my PE Teacher at Manning Middle School she always talked to her young ladies about respecting themselves and she would always say be lady like at all times. And I really respected her for that and up too this day her words I still hear her saying,I wish other young ladies had the pleasure of getting to know her.
Mrs Gibson will forever be remembered as a wonderful coach and friend to her students. She had a hard/tough exterior but if you got to know her, you would find that she was a person with a good sense of humor and was full of wisdom. She was serious about coaching. She wanted the best for her students.
Beautiful work

This will be great to honor her! It’s because of Mrs. Gibson why we, athletes, were prepared to win championships in the high school from her leadership, training, mothering love, mentoring, guidance in how to be a better woman, act like a lady, be discipline and so much more that have made me a better person. Rest easy Mrs. Gibson!
