Of herself, Coach Bice says "On my free time, I like to go and enjoy the outdoors. Nothing's better than enjoying nature, especially when the sun is shining. I am a warm and understanding person. I'm always trying to help and lend a hand to whomever. I'm always striving to achieve my many goals that have set for my future, and coaching high school basketball is definitely one of them. Coaching Freshmen Girls Basketball will be a great experience for me as my first year of coaching a high school team. I'm hoping to have a fun but challenging season."
