8 yrs. I was with this group in some capacity for 8 yrs. Toughness has always been their calling card. That attribute will serve them well. I will miss being with them In the gym, the car, the elevators, etc.. immensely.. I cannot wait to see what their futures hold.

Love that I have had this opportunity. Being a father is the greatest accomplishment of my life closely followed by being a coach. Going to be hard to watch her and the rest of the 23’s go. We have been watering the bamboo for years. Time to watch it grow.

The fun this journey has been
@TNTeamPride
! From her very 1st ride to her last 1st AAU ride she’s been so fun to watch grow as a person and player

Sam Garner
@BMSGirlsHoops
is one of the best c/o 28’ PGs in TN. If you don’t believe it come 👀 for yourself. She plays the position with poise and confidence. Makes everyone around her better and can go get buckets when the ⏱️ calls for it. Not to mention 🔐D
@TNTeamPride
If you enjoy watching selfless 🏀players. 👀⬇️
It isn’t about W’s for this group of kids, it’s about growth. They love the game and playing for each other. Truly a group that honors the sacrifices others make for them with their effort on and off the court.
#AAUgirlsbb
This group of kids always competes.. They always bring it. Even when they don’t have their best stuff they always play with grit.

@TNTeamPride
I would like to thank the
@TNTeamPride
family for all of the effort you gave and the time you sacrificed to put on yesterday’s play day for the basketball community. To our girls thanks for playing games then asking to help.

@KyleShipleyk
@CoachFoot615
We asked this group to fight for every possession
#WinTheBounce
then we loaded the schedule. Nothing was easy. But they grew. Proud I got to be apart of their journey this year. A group of athletes and parents like this are ⚡️in a bottle.

@KyleShipleyk
The moment right after the 28’s got sent 📦. We didn’t point fingers, get down on each other, or just plain old quit. We fought.. We gave it everything we had..

solid weekend for this group of 28’s. Went to PA and played up in 27’
@UANextGHoops
rise. Went 4-0 on the weekend. Relentless on D from the jump. Unselfish with the 🏀In every game different players heard the bell and answered it. Hard to find a group of kids who are this
Proud of the growth and resilience by this group. As a coach one of the first things to find out, is do they have “Grit”. We found that this weekend.

Proud of

for their continued growth this weekend. No it isn’t always ☀️ out there but they are learning. 3&2 on the weekend. Lost to overall tourney champ and in the finals of the gold bracket @ the Showtime shootout.

28’Black Finished
@InsiderExposure
War Games 28.5 and Summer Slam undefeated. This group had a great summer growing as players and applying it in the court, and should be on everyone’s radar. This group plays a fun brand of 🏀 with playmakers everywhere.
#TTPFamily
Josie Ladd “Mill Creek Middle c/o28” long & athletic with a beautiful stroke from anywhere on the floor Ladd is crafty around the basket and sees the floor well creating opportunities for her team. A true basketball player to watch in the 2028 class.
#TTPFamily
@TNTeamPride
Proud of the effort and sacrifices made by these players and parents. Playing arguably the toughest schedule of any 28’ team in TN. Not our best stuff the last 2 weekends but a Runner up at AAU state and took two close “L”essons at The Classic.
#Whatwewantmostvswhatwewantnow
TTP24 had a solid weekend in the Showtime Shootout going 3-1. The group showed tons of grit. Can’t wait to have the whole squad together at our next stop. (No excuses here about a player not being available)

Winning posts are easier, but these post important. 👀 back in a year if these girls are still making the same mistakes, I failed. If they have improved as basketball players (not just athletes) then we won this weekend. Proud of my girls..

Thank you to all of the Coaches who took the time to watch our teams play.
If you want to see a group of kids who are gritty, share the ball, and play hard nosed basketball 👀👇👀👇👀👇👀

@JoshuaEpperson
I’m so proud for
@daisyy_gale
she made so many sacrifices in dealing with her injuries and kept figuring out a way to fight through. Love this kid like a daughter and can’t wait to see what her future holds on and off the court.
We didn’t have the full group yesterday because of conflicts, a few injuries, and illness, but.. Just like in games when the bounce doesn’t go our way we persisted… and grew together. As a coach I am blessed to get to do this with amazing athletes who are also great teammates.
@TNTeamPride
28’ Black Sam Garner Blackman MS (TN) is a kid to keep your 👀 on. This PG makes everyone around her better playing with a relentless motor on both ends of the floor.
#ttpfamily
Coaches if you didn’t have the opportunity to 👀
@daisyy_gale
this weekend in Louisville: this shifty 24 PG is the true definition of a competitor. 🔒defender

@KyleShipleyk
Really appreciate
@MeadeHoops
for dropping by Hooptown today to check out some of the top 28’s in the Mid-State area. Appreciate the 28’ coaches who sent kids to the workout.
Solid weekend for TTP28. Going 4-1 on the weekend. Losing in pool play to the overall Champs AL Southern Starz. Congrats to them on winning the Ship 70-21. Also congrats to KYP another team from our pool on winning the silver Ship 48-19. Now back to the lab.
#TTPFamily
So proud to have the opportunity to 👀
@MJSimmons23
get 1000 tonight in a win vs Shelbyville. If you haven’t had the opportunity to watch this kid play.. You are missing out.
@TNTeamPride
24’ Black had a nice W in the early game today
@TFNsRun4Roses
Another chance to get 👀 on them at 5:04. This group plays hard and shares the ball well.

Proud of the growth this group made over this crazy summer. Not the finish we wanted, but the lessons learned from competing at this level will be invaluable.
