Re: Markelle Fultz. This young man has worked so hard and has overcome every bit of adversity that he has faced. He is one of the most humble and genuine people you will meet. His work ethic is truly elite. For anyone that questions him or his ability to play, you don’t know him.
GOD blessed me to spend the last 23 years as an educator and coach at DeMatha - 19 years as Head Coach. So many people, players and parents have made this one memorable journey. So many coaches that have challenged me as well. I will miss MadisonStreet so much. Always

He will forever be “Coach” to all of us. Saddened and heartbroken. But just as Coach said, he is now part of GOD’s Hall of Fame. We love you Coach and will always remember the lessons taught and the gentleman that you were.
#RIP
to the true 🐐 You have meant so much to so many.
We celebrated our senior class yesterday but our manager turned player stole the show. We are so proud of Jerome Lee who does so much for our program. He follows a long line of great managers that we have had. We are blessed

When you are built to fight through any and everything. . .to work and Work and WORK no matter what. . . And to have Faith in GOD over anything else. . .man. I can’t wait to see Markelle this season and the rest of his career!!!

3 Blocks and a Dunk featuring Jerian Grant, James Robinson, Quinn Cook and Victor Oladipo. Best thing is seeing how that root for each other. Games in the old gym were the best, especially the crowd and environment. Student section was legendary.

Happy Birthday to James Robinson ‘12. He has a record that will be so difficult to match, let alone beat. In his 4 years, he played in 12 WCAC Playoff games, winning 11 and 3 Championships. He played a huge role in all 12 - finishing 2 points away from 12/12 and 4 chips.
Happy Birthday to the Greatest High School ever!!! From the teachers/coaches to the academics to the Music program to the Athletics. Please continue to stay True to the Mission - Faith-Filled Gentlemen and Scholars and Champions. Happy 74th!!!

Markelle makes so many plays in transition look so simple and easy. His ability to create plays continues to be so consistent and at an elite level. His strength, change of speed and direction, then his explosiveness is becoming unstoppable
