COACH’S COMMENTS
“…Tonight we honored the senior basketball players at Tolsia. This is the group that I came in with 4 years ago so yes they are a pretty special group to me. We’ve seen the highs and lows and the others come and go.
“…You draw such a bond with these men and yea the wins are special but seeing these guys grow into young men and mature is such a blessing in its own. To prepare them for life is my main goal because life can knock you down and be so cruel. So I try my best to prepare them for what hits them.
“These 5 young men are tough hard nosed kids that already have a plan after graduation so they are going be fine after they get out on their own.
“… So Cole Blackburn, Bray Mollette, Jayden Booth, Brady Smith and Dorian Reece go out and reach for the stars because the sky’s the limit for you young men. Know that my door is always open to you guys no matter what. You’re always welcome to stop by anytime you wish.”
Once a Rebel always a Rebel!!!!
LOVE MY REBELS!!!
