The Glasco family has always valued their privacy, but they explained that they felt it was important to speak directly to the fans, alumni, players past and present, and the Texas Tech community who have supported Gerry Glasco and the Red Raiders softball program for so many years.
π βHe gave everything he had β to his players, his team, the university, the city of Lubbock, and the game of softball itself,β the family member said, holding back tears.
