Too many moments in this season to list. So many to thank! 14 guys who all believed being pushed to their MAX evry wk is how GREAT things happen! 👊Bball isn’t easy. Our process isn’t for everyone. But resilience/toughness/leadership pays off! See ya in Nov!
For 4 mths..spend almost as much time with a coaching staff as you do with your family! And there’s not a better group to call family than these guys! Lots of downs, lots of ups and a ton of laughs!

Hard to even describe the heartbreak and sadness of the sudden loss of Coach Love. A great husband, father, coach and friend. You will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers from everyone at Triad Basketball, and the Triad community
All of our thoughts and prayers are going out to
@MHS19_ATHLETICS

Nothing but smiles when this guy walked in the gym today! My HS coach/mentor and friend. Coach Harre college teammate. One of the best coaches in the biz and SIU hoops legend

stopped by The Rich and brought the Knights some passion and grit !

A coach and leader celebrating in front of opponents bench is disrespectful and embarrassing. Completely uncalled for. Hats off to Mascoutah for showing class. Also no reflection on the character and hard work of his players and their success. Good luck to highland in sectionals
Big day for this young man! Leadership mindset and hard work pays off! We love you

Great shot falls short but it’s that senior immediately hugging that freshman right after the shot that makes us smile after a tough loss.
