Humbled to lead our unbelievable
@nwcraiders
staff. It’s such a unique culture. Past 3 days we hosted 12 home events, including 2
@GPACSports
championship games. It takes a village but 3 conference banners earned in past 3 days created memories for a lifetime.
#RaidersStandOut
All the KS players/coaches that think your above NAIA or KCAC basketball. Go to any KCAC conference game this year. You’ll be shocked by the talent in the gym.
Words can’t describe how much fun this game was! Outstanding performance by
@nwc_fb
and
@nwcraiders
staff helping with all the snow. Game I’ll never forget.

What a night for small college football! Thresher fans you keep setting the standard higher each year. No one is surprised anymore. Thanks for being a part of the largest recorded attendance in Thresher Athletics history!

My goal as AD at Bethel has been to give all student athletes the same amazing experience I had at Bethel. To create amazing environments. Build winning programs. Proud of progress made this year so far by our coaches and student athletes committed to a changed culture.
#RollOn
I consider myself the luckiest AD in the country to be able to serve a group of alumni and students that passionately support our athletes like we saw again tonight. Let’s do it again in 11 days for

Amazing group of ladies in this picture! This washed-up coach wasn’t looking to get back on the court but a crisis called for it. Thankful for how they responded to adversity and coaching over the past 9 days with limited or no coaches at times.

A night to remember

A battle to 5 sets with the top 2 seeds in front of 2,000+ Raider fans. I say it a lot but this place is uniquely special. Thanks

This legend stopped by today to say goodbye wearing his favorite “Hoops” shirt. Really hard conversation 🥲 I’m forever grateful for his love of Bethel and our family. See you soon my friend!

Small town western KS people are some of the most loyal, genuine, and supportive people I’ve ever met. To see 400+ drive 3-4 hours for a 6 man all-star game is impressive.

My coaching journey comes to an end tomorrow. No regrets-excited for the future at Bethel. So blessed to have an institution that’s believed in me and given me this opportunity.

94% (81/86) of players remained committed to the program from last year’s team to create memories like this. Congratulations

in 10+ years you may begin to understand the transformative impact you had on

The AD business says don’t hire your best friends it will burn you. Glad I didn’t listen to the outsiders. It’s amazing what you have done with this program
@jaysonartaz
. A smart, calm, hard working and responsible leader that players and parents trust. Making your dad proud.
Thresher Gym was a special place once again tonight. That’s the playoff gym I remembered playing in and knew could be created again. Thresher fans you did not disappoint. We got a taste of what playoff basketball is for

and

to build upon!
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11

The foundation of

⬇️ The largest graduating class of student-athletes in Bethel history! Athletic success is defined in many ways but the ultimate purpose of intercollegiate athletics is to provide a path towards degree completion and a successful career. This is what I’m most proud of!

Incredible success story led by

This program won just 4 games the year before he arrived. 4 years later they are in the
@NAIA
tournament for 1st time in school history. Thresher fans - don’t look past the amazing accomplishment this team has achieved.

No one was more pleased with this victory than my 5 year old daughter when she told
@jaysonartaz
after the game. “Thank you for winning I really wanted to do the rollon clap today!”

2 very similar All-Americans
Both:
✅ Repeat KCAC Def. Player of Year
✅ Led nation in rebounding
✅ 1,000 rebound/1,000 point club (only 2 is school history)
✅ KCAC and NAIA Academic All-American
✅ Led team to national tourney
✅ Repeat All-American
✅ Changed campus culture
Couldn’t have written a better story if I tried for how this came together. The ups and downs, twists and turns, job transitions, chances taken, and huge sacrifices made by us all make this accomplishment mean so much doing this together.
