😭How much do we love this town???
💙A million thanks to all the folks at Town of Boone’s Public Works Dept. for working with us on this surprise for our senior Spring athletes!! The department has worked hard to adjust and hang over 50 banners down King Street this morning!
“Good people care about their children. great people care about other people’s children.”
Coach Michael Neff was GREAT. He had a gift of connecting with his students, players, and teams that made each one feel seen. Important. Valued. Successful.

Coach Neff would have deflected the attention so he could redirect it back to the kids, but he would also have been so honored. Thank you, Watauga Basketball🩵
