I believe in the truths of the Bible. Anyone who knows me,knows I fall short of the ideals it teaches. Thankful that Jesus died for all of my sins, short comings, & failures. Also, grateful God gives me another day each day to repent & learn how to love him & others better. 🙏🏻💯

The Villages High School boys basketball team (
@VHS_Hoops
) turns on the jets late, pushing past South Sumter 71-57 at VHS.
You can read all about how the Buffalo came on strong inside Wednesday’s Daily Sun.
I’m all about player safety, but really hate how much targeting is called & defensive players gettin ejected from games. Not sure how a kid can recalibrate when his target changes locations in a split second....
Our State & Our Game has lost two of the 🐐‘s, Jim Haley & now Ed Kershner in the last few years. I’ve seen people saying, they were both better people than coaches, which is saying a ton. So grateful to both of them for the mentorship they provided me. RIP Coach K & Chief🙏🏀
It is with deep sadness that we report that Ed Kershner, our co-founder & Hall of Fame Coach, has passed away at age 81. Our deepest condolences & prayers are with Joyce & the Kershner family. Thank you Coach, words cannot express how much you mean to our community! Rest In Peace
