Year 6 is in the books! I’m thankful for every door God opened for me along the journey & I’m excited for what’s to come at 600 Eagle Dr. 🦅 x 🍿
God is the GREATEST & I owe Him all the glory, honor, and the praise.
Young Coaches, be patient and keep going! Trust me, He’s able.
DeSoto’s BEST kept secrets. On the biggest stages this year, he’s played the biggest for us time and time again. The kid is a technician and a film study junky!

Much love Coach!
Today was my first official day as a Teacher, the feeling was so surreal. Truly amazed at how far I’ve come and I can’t wait to see what’s at the end of this tunnel!
God, I just want to say thank You! I’m experiencing breakthroughs that I just simply can’t explain.
I owe it all to You because internally I’ve overcome some things that sent some people to an early grave but because of You, I’m still. The power that’s in His name is almighty!

Go be great, 2!
You’re built for this life despite what the bad days may say and bring. Stay the course and endure those hard times, because that’s when and where the world & GBR Nation will see your character shine it’s brightest.
Love ya Kid & God speed. 🎒

Coach one of my favorite things to do is bring the heat to the classroom & the sidelines. I don’t know what I’m going to pull out this year, I just know I’ll have fun every step of the way while doing it.
I’m really the PJ Tucker of HS ball. 🤧
Mail Call: IYKYK.
The older you get, the more you realize having peace of mind is more important than proving a point or winning an argument of any kind.
Let go, and let God.
I'm not looking for greener grass in any aspect of my life right now. I'm consistently watering mine and those around me who allow me to do so.

As a position Coach, there’s no greater feeling than seeing this right here. We went to war together, went to hell & back in 100 degree heat, won THE toughest battles in TX - they never folded. It’s bigger than the ring.
It’s bigger than ball at 600 Eagle Dr.!!

Grambling is and always has been a household name, & will forever be a household name. We own the SWAC & that won’t change for the unforeseeable future. We’re in a rebuild & that’s okay, you don’t establish a legacy/pedigree like we have without having to do so once upon a time.
I walked out of every storm that I’ve ever been in clothed and dried with my head held high. God, I owe it all to You and I’ll never stop praising, You!!
Grambling, WE GOT BETTER TODAY!
President-Elect Lemelle was born to lead, Dear Ol’ Grambling.
There’s no greater fit and or person to takeover the divers seat and my spirit is at peace knowing he will be the steward for our beloved alma mater.

Be sure to stop by DeSoto HS when you’re passing through Dallas, TX. We’ve got some dawgs with championship pedigree for you here at The U!

One of the best in the business and any campus and program would be extremely lucky to have Coach Kelly, his lovely Wife, and beautiful Children become loyal and loving members of their family & community. A true gentleman and student of the game, GET AT HIM!
It was nothing but God's grace and His tender mercy that brought us here. I'm a ball coach, so never in a million years did I think I'd have a seat at a table like this.
I’m appreciative, honored, and humbled to now be a

When the elevators stopped working in my life, I went and found the stairs!
Move everything out of your way and focus on what it is that you truly want out of life because the air gets thinner the more you move up the mountain!
All I want to do is work.🎒
In a couple of years, it won’t even matter how long it took. You’ll just be glad you stayed the course and accomplished the task at hand.
Stay focused. Stay committed. GET YOU!
Losing loved ones and people you want and need in your life (to any circumstance) is never an easy road to travel down.
So find the right shoes and go through every emotion you will and very well may feel, you’re not alone.
In a world filled with so much hate and disappointment it felt good to finally be back around my

Family.
Good job today Offense, keep that same energy next week when we line it up at practice. We want all the smoke!
You can’t coach what a player hasn’t been taught; one must educate effectively before he/she expects a player to execute.
Coaches, let’s get better today!
One of the most deserving and absolute BEST IN THE BUSINESS! I’m extremely happy and excited for you my brother. Everything was earned, nothing was given.
Yoe has not only hired a great AD/Head Coach, but an even better Man. Love ya brother! 🤞🏾

Congrats to the former Texas Longhorn!!

Big S/O to H. Grady Spruce’s very own 6’0 Soph., Dalan Arredondo on placing 4th overall in the DISD 5A-2 Region II District Wrestling Tournament! The 1st year wrestler & 2-sport athlete is headed to the Regional Tournament this weekend. Way to go, Arredondo!!
We’re locked-in!😈
So grateful for the love & support I received on yesterday evening, mane. To see my one of my childhood friends and former co-workers surprise me after that hard fought battle was unmatched.
7th Grade ties 12-12 in a grudge match, and 8th Grade brings it home 30-0.

I don’t want to hear complaining during summer workouts. Like I tell my guys every single day, “You showed up to work today, so you might as well get paid, right?”
Nothing in life worth having is going to come easy. No one complains when the State Championship rings get ordered!
H. Grady Spruce’s Devon Anderson (Fr.) placed 2nd in the Dallas ISD City Championship Wrestling Tournament today! Words can’t describe how proud I am of him and his teammates as we head into the district tournament; to say that I’m just a proud coach would be an understatement.🔋
As quickly as God gives you something, He can take it away. We have to work twice as hard to keep the blessings.
We can’t take shortcuts and expect to be champions in life when the dust settles. Have a pro mindset and be a professional at EVERYTHING you do!
Grind!!
Complacency is the thief of all progress and upward movement. What does your work ethic look like? Is your work ethic fitting for what it is that you want to do and desire to receive out of life?
THE RENT IS DUE EVERY DAY AROUND HERE. Quit playing, lock-in, and pay the fee! 🧰
Being inside of this stadium witnessing South Oak Cliff become state champions is unreal.
I’m ready to get back to work; I want to be playing in this same game next year. I know it can happen!
A double double in the 6A State Playoffs is legit crazy, and doing it leading a team filled with Freshman at that is even crazier! 🤯
This is not only great basketball, but leadership at it’s highest level.
As a Friend or Coach, me challenging you to be better is not an attack on you as an individual — it's an act of love.
You invested too much to quit! Give me the same in return and let’s be great, together. ⚙️
Yesterday we moved on to 2-0 in District play! As a first year Def. Coordinator I couldn’t ask for a better group of young men to work w/ this year! This is truly an opportunity of a life time, and dream come true.

I loved everything about Coach Mo’s presentation on Program Development, and I’ll never forget:

Whole time you felt and thought that it was all falling apart when God was putting all the pieces together.
Finish out this week with a shifted mindset and renewed spirit, you’re right where you’re supposed to be!!

As coaches, we must remain students of the game. The game is forever changing and we must adapt to it season after season, for the better of our players and organizations.
Set that up!

HS Athletes, missing summer S&C is inexcusable! If you’re in town, you should be on campus daily contributing & planting the seeds at YOUR SCHOOL and YOUR SCHOOL ONLY. Individualized training has its benefits, but there’s nothing like crafting with your teammates!
BE PRESENT!!
Everyday I’m extremely proud to be apart of the T’Wolves Family, but today is special! I’m happy to announce that H. Grady Spruce will have 2 Top Seeded Wrestlers competing at the District Tournament this weekend! Let’s stay locked-in, Fellas!
It’s getting scary at The Grady! 🐺
I’m so thankful that God rescued & held me together through all of my struggles and disappointment’s. Because of His grace I’m still here; man I’m so glad He pulled me through.
From DeSoto to Grambling, I LOVE IT!!
The DeSoto to Grambling pipeline will be something special for years to come as long as I’m apart of the DE, count on it. 🏠
H. Grady Spruce’s LaQunn Johnson (Class of 2022) finishes the regular season 8-0 before heading into the district tournament! This kid is special, and his story is even better — & he’s not done yet.
This is a Good Friday!
Great Job, LaQunn! Way to put on for The Greedy Grove.😤
Today’s the first day of school here in DISD, I can’t wait to see these new smiling faces & what’s in store here at Florence’s Young Men’s Leadership Academy.
We’re going up all year!
Just got out of surgery and my barber went stupid today. I’m feeling pretty rich and important right now.
I’m thinking about unfollowing all of y’all tonight or dropping a mixtape with YoungBoy and Baby .. haven’t really decided yet.
I’m thankful for the process & the journey; more and more each day I find new power and peace in my testimony. I don’t look like what I’ve been through and because of that, I owe Him all of the praise.
You may still see my scars — but if you touch them there’s no more pain. 🏁
@TheCoachFletch
Happy G-Day, Coach! Love you man & I thank you for helping me out along the way; part of me wouldn’t be who I was today if you hadn’t taken that 10th grade kid back at Lancaster High School under your wing. All love this way for you big dawg, and enjoy your day.🐐
There are going to be so many storms/battles we go through in life where we’re going to feel completely empty & depleted. We often feel like our spirit is legitimately expiring, in a cardiac arrest sort of way.
But know that the only vital God is checking, is our faith. Lock-in!
This week I pray that each of you who see this tweet can recognize, that the doors are opening. The wait wasn't
punishment, it was preparation for something greater.
What God has for you, is for You and no one can take it away.
"I waited patiently for the Lord.” - Psalms 40:1
Success is found in discipline, and discipline isn’t always comfortable.
Embrace those moments when you find yourself in the uncomfortable, and stay disciplined — because the tables are turning.
Sometimes the scoreboard doesn’t depict the whole story. Sometimes you win in life even when adversity & doubt are at your doorstep.
Celebrate the good, acknowledge your shortcomings, stay hungry, & stay the course.
There aren’t any shortcuts on the quest to a meaningful life.
I don’t want to be famous, I want to be effective. I want to invoke and impact change in each and every place that God is currently leading me & where my feet are taking me.
Happy Monday, what do you want? What do you need? Figure that out, and then go run your route.
It’s just Day 1 and I’ve already received free Red Bull and Fox40’s here at

Up doing homework right now on a Wednesday morning is crazy knowing I have to be in my classroom by 6:50 a.m., w/ signing day in the morning, 2 ARDs, hit the gym, case management paperwork, and technically the last practice of spring ball before the spring game.

Earned. Not given!
Once I fell in love w/ the process, win’s and losses no longer mattered. No matter if we win or lose by 40, I love the process!
When you let win’s & losses determine what type of person you are, you can’t appreciate the process. Through the process, the outcome is always income!
