A 38-point night against Portland
Edna Ann Faires Walker began Greenbrier basketball in eighth grade. The Hall places her school sports in 1938–42 and remembers a 38-point performance against Portland during her senior year. The game date and final score remain open.
Her Hall record includes softball and track, basketball co-captaincy in 1942, and All-Star recognition in 1941 and 1942. The biography does not identify the All-Star selecting body.

A player who returned to coach
After Greenbrier, Edna played tennis at Lambuth College. Her Hall biography records five years of teaching, including one season coaching Greenbrier’s girls basketball team, and church softball into approximately her sixtieth year. Her coaching season has not yet been dated.
