It takes 6-8 pallbearers to lift you up when you’re deceased. Imagine what you can accomplish if you had 6-8 people lifting you up while you’re living.
Your circle is crucial.
Man, what a crazy past 3 months. Emergency room this morning with our youngest. Possible appendicitis. If anyone wants to toss some good vibes our way, the Marshall clan would sure appreciate it.
I wonder what some parents are thinking when they yell at a basketball referee, “You’re terrible!” Seriously, I’d love to know what is going thru their mind at that moment. What purpose do they think it serves? And we wonder why their is an official shortage in athletics.
Thank you
@lexannmakowski
for taking time to take a picture with Aviana tonight! She looks up to you and screams when you’re playing, “Get the ball to Alexis Markowski!” 😂 Thank you for being a great role model to young kids that love basketball.
I don’t care what anyone says, there is still a place for good, solid, low post, block to block players at every level of basketball. When you can play thru the post, everything else opens up. Just like running the ball in football. 🏀💪🏻
Hey
@StephenCurry30
here is a prospect for your Underrated Tour. Charlie Easley
@CharlieEasley4
from Lincoln,NE.The kid can flat out play and does so night in and night out and in the summer on the AAU circuit.He’s a winner, tough,and can flat out play. Don’t bet against that kid
Sad that my son’s HS 🏀 career is over. He did everything the right way. Everything, and then some more. I told him to hold his head high and be proud. I’m beyond proud of him, the type of player he is, and most importantly the great young man that he is.
Breaks my heart 💔 when I read about young people who no longer feel valued, cared about, or loved feel like life isn’t worth it & tragedy ensues. Folks, tell those who are important to you that you care about and love them. Check in on them. Be genuine, sincere, & non-judgmental
@Husker247BC
You know, Adrian has his shortcomings as a player, but as a human being, he's a great young man. Diplomatic, positive, humble, accountable, classy. Once football is over for him, he'll be successful in whatever career he chooses.
I’m typically not one to solicit prayers and the like but am tonight. If you wouldn’t mind including my family in your prayers please do. It’s been a tough couple of months w/some loved ones passing and some serious medical diagnosis in our extended family. I appreciate you all!
Seems like just yesterday you were born. Today you graduated from HS. I love you more than you know and I don’t tell you that often enough. You are prepared for the next phase of your life, without question. Im proud of you
@ashlynmarie_1
I’m tough on this young man, probably too tough at times, but I sure am proud of the man he is becoming. He rec’d, along w many others, recognition for academics today. I love you
@prestonmarsh_
! Keep working. Keep battling. Keep believing.
The pregame tribute today for Coach Feeken was something special. I couldn’t stop the tears from coming. Glad P & I made the trip. I’ll remember it forever. Then Landon’s game winner. Wow! Just wow! Chills for me & more tears.

I’m sure proud of this kid! Hard to put into words how proud I am of him. The sacrifices he’s made. The hard work he’s put in. Staying loyal when he didn’t have to. Ultimate team player.

@prestonmarsh_
has faced a ton of adversity this 🏀szn. 2 grndprnts passing, cancer diagnosis 4 another. Other challenges & disappointments. Throughout it all he hasn’t complained once; not one time. He just keeps working. He’s earned some good fortune. We r sure proud of him.
Update on Aviana. We are home from emergency room after nearly 8 hours there. Scans were clear. Not sure what the cause of her abdomen pain was, frankly. Kelli & I appreciate the positive vibes, prayers, & concerns. It’s been a helluva past couple of months. Appreciate all of u!
I’m proud of this young man
@prestonmarsh_
I don’t tell him that often enough. I should. Him making 8 3 pointers in two separate games for

@PowerhouseNe
isn’t just b/c of happenstance. He works at it. Most of all, I’m proud of the young man he is becoming.
Last AAU season for P Marsh
@prestonmarsh_
is in the books. I had a hard time keeping it together emotionally this weekend. Few know the amount of adversity he’s been thru over the years. I’m beyond proud of him. Thank you to an awesome man in

This is nonsense and completely uncalled for. Either support these young athletes or take a hike. Jaxon, I don’t know you, and I’ve never seen you play; but Concordia is a damn good program and they recruit really good players. Go be great, Jaxon!
Watched this kid play 4 times this summer. Could never figure out the offers, does things okay, wasn't sure what one thing he did well. Good for him committing, but not sure what he will bring to Concordia. 6' is giving him 2 inches, and he isn't a PG at the next level.
Proud of my son. He told his Mom and I this morning, “I don’t care if I score 20 pts or 6 pts, I just want 2 win. And I’ll do whatever I need to do to help the team win.” When you sometimes wonder if you’re raising a child properly and he says that, it makes you feel good inside.
My wingman on his first day as a Senior in high school. I’m proud of him. I give him a lot of tough love. He’s fought thru more adversity than many know. One of the things he can be, and should be, proud of is that every bit of good fortune that has come his way has been earned.
June 12th, 1999. The date I married my soulmate. My high school sweetheart. She’s the rock of our family. Marriage & relationships aren’t easy. But, when you stick together & love unconditionally a lifetime of memories are made. I love you
@KelliMarsh12
!
Happy 23rd Anniversary!
Now that my son’s season is over, I’m gonna root for Gretna. Those kids have been thru really tough times this season. I respected Brad Feeken for the type of man and coach he was.

I don’t tell this young lady
@ashlynmarie_1
often enough how proud I am of her. Her HS athletic career ended last Fall with an ACL tear in club soccer. She’s battled other injuries & adversity throughout HS. Thank you to
@lswgirlssoccer
for including her in Senior night!
Man, Lincoln East baseball just slowly takes you apart. Disciplined, patient, steady, solid pitching, solid defense, no panic ever. That’s a championship formula.
I often tell
@prestonmarsh_
to give back by helping aspiring hoopers.
@jared_bohrer
and
@RylanSmith_
have helped him & I’m proud to see P giving back to Crew, our neighbor. Crew is gonna be a good one someday. Sometimes all a kid needs is someone they look up to to embrace them.
🎯 Recent example:
@BradyTimm05
of
@DoaneTigersMBK
. When Brady played for
@yutanbasketball
everything he did was max effort. I watched him warm up 1 time and said “That kid is going places”. That stuff matters; Bigtime!
My parents had me at age 17. We had little money. We lived in trailer house & court. Dad worked while in vet school. Mom worked. They couldn’t afford a 🏀 hoop so I shot n to an galvanized trash can that was filthy. You don’t need a fancy court & hoop, just desire & a dream.
Big shout out to
@katedilsaver
of
@LSWXC
for helping out my daughter
@ashlynmarie_1
and her good friend Ella after the XC meet today. It was really hot today and the girls really appreciate Kate being a great leader and teammate supporting them.
One of my son’s friend’s and teammate got a Bigtime athletic scholarship offer today. He comes home after practice so excited for him. That’s the type of kid my son is, he gets more excited for his friend’s successes and opportunities than his own.
#charactermatters
I’m proud of this young man. Since COVID hit, he has spent hours upon hours working on his game. He told me tonight he tallied them up and he said he has put in about 70 hours working on his game since mid-March. He’s setting goals and working towards them.
.
@ConnorMillikan
took that game over today 4
@Platteview_BBB
. That’s what elite players do. His formula is simple: he outworks people in the off-season. He is a good athlete, yes. But what sets him apart is what he does outside 🏀season. 6’0 maybe 6’1 & does it every game.
This group. This group right here. They embody and encapsulate the word “team” in every way. They don’t care who leads each game in scoring. They just want to win. They care about one another. They play for one another.
@OSACrusaders

This brought a grown man to tears. I coach because I have knowledge to share but more importantly want to help teach young people life skills that will help them outside of athletics. Thank you
@NELasersHoops
parents for allowing me the privilege of coaching your daughter’s.
🫶🏼
Can’t get out of my head Landon’s last second shot yesterday and him pointing to the sky saying, “That was for you coach! That was for you!” Brought a grown man to tears. What a moment! Grateful that P and I were there.

@BarstoolUIowa
Wrong. I’m a Husker and I would chalk it up to nothing more than teammates having fun. Look, Iowa has a really, really good team. CC is a phenomenal player. She is amazing. Just enjoy watching you Hawks in the postseason. No need to sling mud at other fanbases.
Man, I’m having a hard time holding it together. An outstanding human being and leader of men gone too soon.

and being selected to the National Honor Society at LSW. She is a great kid and I’m a lucky guy to be her Dad.
Happy 18th Birthday to my firstborn
@ashlynmarie_1
. I am so proud of the young woman she has become. She’s smart, caring, tender-hearted, hard working, organized, and talented in so many ways.
30 years ago since I played in a state championship basketball game. What an experience! The state tourney brings back a lot of those memories for me. Awesome stuff! 🏀👊🏼👍🏼
Make others feel valued. Doing so is free & only takes a few seconds to genuinely tell someone they are valued.
Imagine what they may be able to accomplish if they feel valued by those they look up to.
When you give, even just a little bit, you get so much more in return.

@lukashelms
Thank you from
@KelliMarsh12
and I for being good to our son. We really appreciate the positive example you’ve set for him. You are the epitome of a great teammate and role model.

Great weekend with

hates it when I record him, but I am proud of how much work he puts in. He’s a great young man and is growing up way too fast.
I’m proud of this young lady!
@ashlynmarie_1
you have grown into an outstanding young woman. Smart, caring, tender-hearted, hard working, a role model to your little sister, and a leader.
These r 3 awesome young men. High character young men that r great ambassadors not only 4 the 🏀 programs they play 4, but their schools.

teammates. Whatever these 3 choose to do when the 🏀 stops bouncing they’ll be successful.

P says to me last night on the way home from
@OSACrusaders
🏀 practice; let’s listen to my music. He then asks, “Do you wanna get turnt or hyped?” I said, “they are the same damn thing.” To which he says, “naw Dad they aren’t, just listen I’ll play a song for each!” 😂😂😂🤷🏼♂️

College coaches: offer this kid! He can play. Score from all 3 levels. Gym rat. Awesome teammates. Comes from an awesome family. Plays for 2 big time programs in that if

He CAN and WILL help your program.
@truthhurtz85

Bullshit! He’s being respectful and complimentary. Nothing wrong whatsoever with what he said. It’s call class. Give it a try sometime.
I type this in tears. Thank you to

Coach Nettleton for stopping by
@ashlynmarie_1
grad reception today. Mostly, I wanted to thank you for the kind words you shared with me about her. The soccer program you lead epitomizes pure class, grace, & family. 🦅 ⚽️ 🟢
Guess who the AAU team hype man (me) ran into tonight
@JrJayBasketball
? These 4 fellas. All really good player’s but what’s even better is they are great young men and great ambassadors for their programs.
Man, I’m like a kid in a candy store. So excited to go to KC for 🏀 tourney this weekend. I enjoy watching my son play & I love our team & parent group. The boys all get along, care about one another, & just want to win. Parent group is same way. It’s so much fun!
@OSACrusaders
Thank you to LSW basketball seniors,
@lukashelms

Keenon, I’ve known your Dad for over 20 years. He was instrumental in reintroducing me to Christ. I have met your Mom. They are great people! My daughter goes to school with your sister; Niya is awesome! You have a great family and I’m sorry you have to deal with this nonsense.
