“The opportunity to add a young, talented coach like Kylee to our coaching staff was one we couldn’t pass up,” said Daniel Prevett, Vice President of Athletics. “My familiarity with Coach Gorby from my time at Asbury and seeing how hard of a worker she was certainly helped in making this decision to bring her in as the next leader of our women’s basketball program.”
Prevett added, “Kylee is a very passionate coach who does a great job of maximizing her athletes’ potential on the court. We are excited to watch her take this program back to nationals in 2024.”

She also helped lead her squad to a SLIAC Tournament appearance in both the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons.
Before becoming a head coach, Gorby served as an assistant coach at Georgetown College (Ky.) for three seasons from 2017-2020. During that time, she helped lead the Tigers to 44 victories and a berth in the NAIA Division I National Tournament in the 2018-19 campaign.

“I’d like to express my thanks to VP of Athletics, Daniel Prevett, and the administration at Midway University for this exciting opportunity,” noted Gorby. Having had the unique experience of competing in the River States Conference as a player and an assistant coach, I know firsthand its rich history and high level of competition.”
Gorby added, “I can’t wait to build on the tradition of success that is Midway women’s basketball! Go Eagles.”
