Thank you… there are a lot of people involved in making something like that possible - families, players, coaches - I’m lucky to be able to represent them all, their selflessness and efforts.
@MyersParkHS
fans you were off the chain, lit, hyped however you wanna say it! You made the atmosphere AMAZING for both teams last night🔥‼️. Loved every minute!
That’s the best. I love those 2 guys and the love they have for each other is what this is about. Really proud to be able to be around and learn from both of them.
We’ve been really lucky to be around great kids and hard workers. This guys at the top of both of those lists. Thrilled to see Sam continue his hard work in Sunshine State Conference! Congrats bud!
I am excited to announce my commitment to Florida Southern College. I’d like to thank all of my coaches, teammates, and family who have helped me along the way! Go Mocs!

Too cold for Road Victory Milkshakes tonight but a conference road win still deserves a treat. Thanks

Congratulations to MPHS Alum, Duwe Farris, on being selected for the JV Basketball team at UNC-Chapel Hill! 😯
In two years, Duwe will have an opportunity to move up to the scholarship team.
MPHS Grads Doing Great Things! 🐎🐎🐎
And the parents of the players we coach believe it’s safe... their opinions and belief is the one that matters most to me. It’s their child and family at risk. I don’t believe they would have them playing in our programs and schools if they didn’t feel safe
Here’s another study but perhaps the biggest testimony is the first-hand experience those if us who have navigated in-person instruction + athletics can give: we feel safe because we are safe.
We take the virus seriously and by doing so we’re safer for it. Trust your schools.
Really proud of

- watching him grow throughout this recruiting process has been a real treat. He has no idea the impact he’s had on everyone around him. That’ll continue at ND and beyond. Congratulations
William was asleep last night when the Mustangs got their Road Victory Milkshakes so we had to go get some ice cream this afternoon to celebrate!

@MyersParkHS
Basketball is a game of spacing and timing, changing speeds and changing directions. Think of the shot clock as a teaching tool. Teaches players to move with purpose, play with pace, and make decisions. Don’t think of it as a strategy tool or equipment cost.

Great Programs Have Great Assistant Coaches.
We often celebrate the incredible athletes and head coaches in sports.
We also need to also recognize the value of the Assistant Coach.
Here are 5 Attributes of Great Assistant Coaches.

Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of OBX Good Guys vs Cancer & be able to have our team represent MP the way they did. Friday night was one of the most fun, memorable games I’ve been a part of. Thank you

Curry gets it done in sudden-death OT off a difficult spin-move and finish by Caleb Foster. He led them with 13, Shane Fernald and DJ Nix were in double figures as well. TJ Clark scored 20 for Xpress.

This is so true... youth and education based athletics are changing right before our eyes. Covid is the accelerant. We need to be vigilant and creative to continue to provide the unique experience that is HS sports

Something to consider for school boards & districts: if you cannot open your athletic depts, you may lose them to travel sports, & it may not return after the pandemic. 1/6
This is absolutely true and exactly why I would hope HS coaches would be in favor of it. If we are about our kids, we should be trying to improve our own coaching as well as helping them improve their skills which includes decision making
I’ve been told that the shot clock (specifically the 24-second clock) rewards the team with more talent. In reality, the team at every level from grassroots to the pros who create the best quality of shots, usually wins. First 20 minutes of Lithuania-USA a perfect example. A shot
Aug 31. Happy B-Day to my hero and best friend, My Dad... fun side note. His b-day is 8/31/51. His 1st sister was born 8/31/52. His 2nd sister was born 8/31/53... Happy Birthday to all!

“If you are 95% healthy, you aren’t 100% hurt.” Maybe one of my favorite Fergis quotes in the 22 conversations so far with

I’d love for
@The_NCBCA
to have a real conversation with
@NCHSAA
as to why this isn’t being considered. It would improve our game all the way around. Players and coaches would improve and have a better experience ... isn’t that what we want?
@langstonwertzjr
Check out an
@MyersPark_Hoops
home game. We’ve got 3 young men doing announcing, play by play, and analysis... they are doing a great job too! Great for HS sports!
This has been a legitimate fear of most of us involved in high school sports. I hope the
@NCHSAA
and
@NFHS_Org
are aware and as concerned as their coaches & administrators. Landscape of HS sports is changing. Must grasp and understand that
You could argue for almost all high school sports except football, “club season” has become more important for college recruiting. With COVID potentially cancelling HS sports this year that likely will contribute even more to this dynamic. HS sports may soon become obsolete.
I expect that 3 ball to go in when it leaves his hand… had control of the group and the game all weekend. Going to get better and better. 🟣⚪️

I second this! And add that I know how lucky I am to have the father I have.
@dwtshp
He’s still my leader, counselor, and hero. I hope my kids see a glimmer of his gifts in me one day.
