bball official personally emailed me a week after a game. He researched a non-call that was somewhat controversial at the end of our game. He explained what the ruling should have been and they wanted to get it right for future games. Blown away by the professionalism.
Tonight was special. So proud of our boys and happy for our community. Final score 73-66 against Heritage Christian and headed to Hutch!

PSA for youth basketball coaches. First, thank you for coaching, but full court pressing at 3rd grade and below doesn't teach kids anything except how to foul, create chaos, and has them hear everyone screaming and yelling at them and the officials. Teach the game.
To be on this list with so many great coaches is extremely humbling. Thank you SIK for the recognition. Also, thanks to all my players this year. Good luck to all the great coaches listed.
The season came to an end against a loaded and well coached SES team. End our season 19-5 with a lot to hold our head high about. Proud of these guys. Thankful for our community and my coaching staff. It was a great ride.

Great regular season capped off with a tough win.

Another weekend of 2nd-4th grade girls basketball games full of packed in zone defense, chaotic full court press, and traps as soon as kids cross half court. I will die on the hill that this isn't the way to teach our youth.

This morning, our players went to a teacher or staff member who has had a positive effect in their life. They thanked them, gave them their jersey, and invited them to our first home game tonight against Royal Valley. Thank you PL staff for all you do!
My favorite day during the season is when we have our student-athletes take their jersey to a teacher and thank them for the positive impact they have made. Teaching is not an easy job and we are so thankful for the teachers at Perry-Lecompton! You make a real difference!

Trevor is an extension of the coach on the floor. He has an extremely high basketball IQ and does the things required to win that don't always go in the stat book. He is an absolute winner. It's been really fun coaching him.

In my opinion having the jamboree for HS basketball this year was extremely beneficial. Definitely some tweaks that could be made, but overall a great way to knock off some rust and get an early look at your team. Thanks to Coach Blanchat and

Huge opportunity tonight as we face Silver Lake in the SubState semis. Gametime is scheduled at 7:30pm after the Olathe Heritage Christian and Bishop Ward game. Kaws fans, we need you tonight!
What doesn't get put in the stat sheet is these are all GREAT kids who are coachable and play like they have something to prove! I feel very fortunate to coach this group.
Give everyone 6 fouls. I hate seeing kids sit on the bench that should be in the game. This will allow players to play more freely, allows more room for both player and official error, and players spend more time on the floor.

After our loss at the buzzer last night against Holton, we end the season 13-7 and runner-up in the Big 7. We have earned the 2 seed in our sub state and will host Royal Valley next Monday.
One of my favorite differences in AAU compared to HS hoops is giving kids 6 fouls. Allows for more play time for the players, no one has to play scared to foul, and coaches don't have to switch to zone in fear of someone fouling. Would be a great change.
Today we had our 3rd annual "Dad's Practice and breakfast" where a positive male role model in our student-athletes lives were invited to practice with us. Now we see where some of our guys get their skills!
These highlights are exactly what you get from Parker every game. Great finisher around the rim, shoots a high % from 3, and competes every single possession. Has been huge for us this spring!
Varsity loses to a great Holton team last night and finishes the season at 10-10. A lot of ups and downs through a very tough schedule.
Time to refresh, regroup, and focus for the post season where everyone is 0-0.
Grateful for this group of guys and community.
