In an impromptu gathering outside the rifle range after school today, the students and faculty show that Colonel Sharbel’s influence spread far beyond just the boys he coached on the rifle team.

Today we pause the school day to remember Mr. Chris Smith, our beloved colleague, mentor, coach, and friend. We miss him dearly already, but Coach Smith's impact on the MBA community is far from over.

It's no surprise to see fortitude from Coach Klausner in the midst of cancer treatments. He's fostered strength in his students and players for years. Let's send it all back his way! "Yes, I have cancer. I’m nauseous and exhausted, but this is what I’m born to do. I’m a teacher."

MBA understands the concerns about the Sam Davis statue, and we will remove the statue from the campus within the week. It was placed on the campus because of Sam Davis's pre-Civil War connection to one of MBA's predecessor schools and the attributes of loyalty and friendship. .

Hearing the students' appreciation for Colonel Sharbel is a powerful way for us as faculty to honor his memory and to continue finding inspiration in his fine example.
(1/2) Colonel Sharbel was one of the best men, mentors, and coaches to ever step foot on MBA’s campus. He was a man of true integrity who touched everyone’s life that he had the chance to. He will be forever missed but never forgotten. The MBA community stands together in hopes. .

Coach Anglin has 17 players on the @MBABigRedBball team, but he has far more than that in his trig classes. At the state championship they had him autograph textbooks, and then they staged this over the top photo op in class today. Great teachers make great coaches. @VandyMBB

Echoes from Friday night's thriller are still bouncing around campus. With the buzzer beater, Josh Roberts '23 had the shot of the night, and a shot of the victorious aftermath by Darin Hall '22 has to be a close second. Besting both shots was the overwhelming #jaxstrong support.
