Tonight, Palmer High School named its gym floor in honor of longtime boys basketball coach Dan McKiernan. He guided the Terrors to state titles in 1993 and 2000. #copreps
Really proud of the Men of Troy for all of their accomplishments this season. They were honored today with the 4A sportsmanship award. Seniors good luck in your future endeavors. Young guys, got some work to do.

Not our night last night, but the Men of Troy are still moving on to next week's state basketball tournament at Eagle HS. With that comes our tradition of going to BWW's as a team.

Standards, Discipline, Positive Relationships and Culture are vital to your success. If you lose in those areas….you can bet on losing on the field or court! You should be celebrating the players that set these for your program! #Discipline#Standards#Culture#Relationships
One of my traditions. Breakfast with my families after a morning practice. Team is playing well. Little more work to do to get where we want to be.##WARTROJANS#FAMILY
After 21 seasons as head coach at Mountain View with over 500 games coached, and one state championship, boys basketball coach Jon Nettleton is retiring from coaching.
@mtnviewmaverick@CoachNettleton He's one of the true great guys still doing it for the right reasons and is a class act. Good luck the rest of the way my freind.
In the midst of recent tragic events, this morning I am thankful to be standing and watching our leaders and young men together preparing for a game. Shirt says it. #GodBlessAmerica
Athlete: Coach… I think I want to quit.
Coach: Okay. Then let’s talk about why.
Athlete: I’m tired. All the early mornings, the pain, the pressure. Sometimes I wake up and wonder what I’m even doing this for.
Coach: That’s not quitting. That’s being human. Doubt shows up when you’re close to something that matters.
Athlete: But I’m not even sure I’m good enough. I look around and see people stronger, faster… happier.
Coach: Comparison is a liar. It shows you everyone’s surface but hides their struggle. You don’t need to be better than them. You need to be better than yesterday.
Athlete: What if I never win? What if I give everything and still fall short?
Coach: Then you’ll walk away with something most never touch—truth. The kind you only find when you’ve emptied yourself for something bigger than comfort.
Athlete: So… you think I should keep going?
Coach: I think you already know the answer. You wouldn’t be having this conversation if you truly wanted to stop. You just want someone to remind you that it’s worth it.
Athlete: It hurts, Coach. Some days, it really hurts.
Coach: Good. That means you care. And nothing worth having comes without pain. Now breathe. You’ve made it through every hard day so far.
Most quit before the breakthrough!
Don’t be like most!
