eclipsing 1000 points today keep in mind that this young man has endured 3 coaching changes, lots of tough nights and Covid for his junior and senior year. Let’s give him props. Really happy for him.
For those of you that get eliminated in regionals after having a “great” year. You’re year was not great. It was good. Winning 20-25 games against weak competition is cute and all but we like championships!! If you think this is meant for YOU, you are correct!

That effectively puts an end to any thought of a hoops season. Our area can’t even practice yet. It’s Jan. 15! No team state series for nearly 1 year! Kids are hurt, angry, lost! Good news is that in 2023 many of them will be registered voters and they will remember, Jelly Belly!
