Sonja Hogg

Hogg was a physical education teacher at Ruston High School when she interviewed at Louisiana Tech for a position in its P.E.

School president Dr. F. Jay Taylor remarked that several students had approached him about starting a women's basketball team.

She felt the school's longtime nickname of Bulldogs was unfeminine, and disliked the idea that her players might be called "bitches" (a term for female dogs).

[4] Hogg won the 1981 Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women title, beating Tennessee to finish the season undefeated at 34–0.

[3] In 1986, Hogg was inducted into the Louisiana Tech University Athletic Hall of Fame.
