Senior night was one to remember for many reasons.. Everyone in White Auditorium helped warm my family’s heart a little bit and I couldn’t thank y’all enough. As we continue to try and understand why, we will stay strong and keep pushing as 34 would want!
LONG LIVE THE GOAT🕊
Main reason I first touched a basketball, A father figure that has had my back since I was born and was always there, A LEGEND that has Inspired so many people from playing and coaching, was taken way too soon.. I am lucky to say we share blood. Rest Well Grandpa, I Love You💔
GUESS WHAT…. Baby Downing is on the way. We are happy to announce that we will be expecting a young hooper come January 2024.
You will be loved by many. I can’t wait to meet my little BOY or GIRL.
What y’all think we havin ❔❓
Free State welcome Coach Austin Downing! Coach Downing will take over our 9th grade team!! His knowledge of the game & his success as a player will be an invaluable asset as he will help elevate our program to a higher level! 🔥🐦🏀

I just want to thank everyone for all of the support, thoughts, an prayers. I Wanna thank Dr. Stull an staff for A successful surgery this morning✅ I’m on the road to recovery, It’s only up from here🙏🏾.
Last Saturday @ 10:39 AM, our family found out that we had lost another one of our family members which was Cougars older brother.. He still played & had 28 PTS which was a season high in a rival game… SPECIAL ❤️

As of yesterday I am officially a college graduate. All my real ones know how tough these past couple years have been for me mentally and physically, but all y’all helped me push through✊🏾 God is Great👨🏾🎓

Words can’t even describe how I’m feeling right now. I just know I’m blessed, & beyond thankful.
S/O to Momma for being a soldier.. she did GREAT ❤️
Best Day Of My Life.
P.S. It’s GameDay.. ROLL COUGS!
3/3 🏆✔️
Beyond proud of this group & the willingness that they had to play for something bigger than themselves!
In Juco, it’s easy to get caught up in the outside noise, individual rankings, etc but these guys used it all as motivation & got the last laugh.

No lie, you really gotta take an L at some point in life to regather yourself an remember what you tryna get accomplished, learn your lesson an keep it pushin‼️
Season didn’t end like we had wanted but that’s apart of sports. Love us or Hate us, I am thankful for this staff, players, and the entire program for this opportunity I had for year 1 away from playing. You all made it SPECIAL 💚 Go kill that next chapter seniors. Love y’all.
Never give up on your dream no matter how long it may take to accomplish it. Some people ain’t gotta go through as much as you do. that’s what make you different💯
My grandpa was everything to me and inspired me on a day to day basis to be like him as a player, coach, and mentor. For that reason, I will make sure I am representing him no matter what.

Our Freshman season has came to an end, finishing 15-4 (10-2). We had our good and bad days, but I really can’t thank this group enough for a great first year. These boys competed and challenged each other everyday to be better. Bright futures ahead!
