It was pretty awesome that
@McclungMac
put on his high school jersey. Could have put on one of his 2 college jerseys but he represented SWVA.

This group set the standard for excellence. Disappointment has now turned to a sense of pride! Big things ahead for all 6 of these men! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication!
Hot news, 2030 product Devin Damron has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal! Said the coaching staff at EHS didn’t appreciate his sideline celebrations, taking his talents elsewhere! 🏀 😃
Our motto from day one, this season isn’t about YOU, it’s about US! Great final morning shoot around! These kids play for each other!

Wow what a game! The prior center was electric. Can’t thank our fans enough. That win was for everyone that has supported us all year long! Richmond bound!! 🏀💪🏆
I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game winning shot.

Thank you to each and everyone who reached out to wish our guys luck and send positive vibes, much appreciated! So many good folks in wise county! We will be back!

Player now days goes home & hears at the dinner table how the coach is doing him/her wrong; not getting enough shots, should be all conference, not enough playing time. Coach will lose that battle & the athlete will begin to believe it. The value of a coach is slowly dwindling!
During lock up covid times our team did a zoom meeting w/
@McclungMac
He was impressive but more importantly one of the most focused individuals. He had one singular focus, play at the highest level. Congrats to Mac on reaching his goal and blocking out all the noise!

Most exciting part about coaching these 2 kids, they made me feel short!!! Congrats to both Luke and Colyn, sports leadership award winners! Luke overall male athlete winner!

Top pic is a bus ride to team camp this past summer on a 95 deg. day. Our journey to Richmond started way before we arrived today at 1! Couldn’t be more proud of this team. We will miss our seniors! 18-19 Spartans left a legacy for future Spartans!

No better venue for high school basketball than
@DJP_ConvoCenter
. From the light show, NFHS, music, announcing, stats…
@WiseRecGuy91
and crew are the real deal! Athletes in this area are blessed to have this!
One year ago we lost my father in law. He taught me a lot about life & basketball! Hard work, toughness, and dedication to your career! Those are things I will carry on. There’s a void in our lives but we will never forget the wisdom he shared and passed on!

Big thanks to
@Hayes_BHCSports
for the article on
@LLawson1213
! Luke is a special talent and great teammate. Luke is silently playing D1 🏀 as a freshman! Not bad for a kid from little ole Eastside!
Friday April 27
@LLawson1213
will sign a national letter of intent to play collegiate basketball
@MountHoops
! Exciting day for Luke, his family and our entire community!
Don’t tell me about titles/ships won. If you can’t build positive relations w/ youngsters, not sure the purpose of coaching! Been fortunate to have great kids that respect hard work & dedication. Greatest gift a former player can give you is a thank you! Winning is a byproduct!
Congrats
@ColynSturgill
earning First Team All State honors!
@LLawson1213
is your 2018 Class 1 State player of the year! Well deserved! Congrats to both young men!
As a die hard Kentucky fan, I had to deal with this offensive dress code issue today at school! Lucky for this young lady she is a top notch kiddo!

While serving as a cross country coach many years ago, I gained a great deal of respect for the athletes and the sport. Now I’m introduced to swim due to this little gal and I have nothing but respect for these kiddos that compete!
#bluemarlins
Just found out on the team bus we are a team divided...I’m extremely disappointed in some of my players parents...half of the team has had Vienna sausage, half have not...cmon parents do better 😃!
Nothing but the best for these 2 tall men as they head off to new adventures!

My son loves the game of 🏀. He really enjoyed this season and learned a lot. Thanks to coach clay for all his work with this group! I enjoyed watching them all season.

How about that spartan pep section, over 50 kids made the trip to Christiansburg! Gave us momentum that allowed us to keep fighting! See u Tuesday! 💪🏻 🏀

Young aspiring basketball players, the game has evolved! If you’re not lifting weights, you’re behind! Watching Reid Travis for UK! One thing comes to mind, weight room! 💪🏻 🏀

Finishing up summer 🏀 w/
@CatawbaCollege
overnight team camp! These guys r working hard trying to find the recipe for our team to get back to Richmond!
#SummerGrind
We played extremely hard, have to polish up our offense. I love this team’s heart and effort. Offense will come in time...As always, we have high character kids who will stay committed and get the ship sailing in the right direction!
This is exactly why MJ is the best of all time. Everything he did, he did it the right way. He doesn’t have to call himself greatest of all time, people who watched him already know it!
@ColynSturgill
trusted the process, played Jv as a sophomore, worked hard and didn’t question his coaches, now he will play college basketball on a full ride if he chooses, good stuff!

This weekend Brandi and her teammates were recognized for winning the 1999 national championship! Hard to believe it’s been 20 years!
