So proud of our guys! Not the outcome we wanted. In mid January this team was 5-9. Finished the year 13-11. I couldn’t be more proud of the turnaround. The kids continued to stay the course and put in the work each day. We will miss this bunch of seniors and we love them a ton.

Nothing the but truth here! Effort, Attitude, and Grit #EAG are always on display when @cjkent12 is apart of something! Keep up the good work and good luck to @CUNEmbb this season!.
🏀 @cjkent1 of @creteBBALL discussed his style on court: "I don’t care about how I do personally. I just want to make everyone better. I like to shoot threes a lot. While I do shoot a lot, I still like to get others the best opportunity. I would rather see them succeed than me."

That hurt, still stings & will for awhile. Talked as a team about how we’re going to use this loss so I will keep that private. Just wish we had another game to prepare for as we love being around each other. This is a special place and special things are on the horizon #BeGreat.
