If a high school coach tells you not to play a sport and just concentrate on their sport they are doing you a complete disservice… not to mention setting you up for injury. I said what I said.

Right before the game Tuesday night coach Tahj had told me his son Max was in the hospital and they would be running tests the next few days. We have come to find out little Max has a cancer called Neuroblastoma. Please give what you can.

For those high school coaches, who do not believe in multisport athletes or having your Players lift weights, please go watch mainland Basketball play.

Tomorrow I will coach in the biggest game of my career. I can’t wait to go watch the players compete and to be able to coach with my fellow coaches. Everyone in this program has put it all on the line. I’m so proud to call myself a Panther and so proud of this team. #WeR.

There is no better feeling as a coach than when a former player comes and shows you love. No matter how long ago you coached them they still call you coach, that’s what makes it all worth it.

One of the highlights and most impactful moments of our banquet and season was presenting Arron VanTrease with his number 18 F.A.M.I.L.Y. jerseys. The determination of this young man is a lesson for everyone. Keep pushing everyday young man. It was a pleasure F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Life is beautiful. It’s also so cruel and hits at you the hardest. Praying so hard for hope, healing, and a miracle for Max. No one deserves this challenge. But the fight goes on. All we can do is everything you need us to. @carrieholden @tahjholden #CancerSucks #MaxStrong

Dear @GovMurphy & @NJSIAA—We understand the pandemic is bigger than basketball & we pledge to follow all safety guidelines. Our coaches will mask up 100% of the time & our practices will limit physical contact. We can do this if we all work together! #GiveUsAShot.

The scoreboard may not have showed it but we won yesterday. Not because of a basketball game but because of how we came together as a family. It’s been one hell of a ride. One I will forever be grateful for. Love my guys, my team, my family.
Oh. So. Close. Ranney pushes Roselle Catholic to the limit, but Naz Reid delivers in crunch time to send Lions to the TOC, 63-61.

#MaxStrong is born out of love for the Holden’s and the necessity to ensure all money raised in Maxwell Holden, Tahj Holden, Carrie Holden, or MaxStrong’s name will go directly and succinctly to his essential, costly care. Please see the picture below with all contact info
