One last ride.

Braden Smith.
Fletcher Loyer.
Trey Kaufman-Renn.

Before the lights.
Before the noise.
Before the moment… there were empty gyms and echoes.

Just a ball bouncing.
Shoes squeaking.
Dreams forming when no one else was watching.

They chose this.
They chose the hard days.
They chose the weight.
They chose Purdue.

They stayed when the world told them to chase something easier.
They built something instead. Brick by brick. Possession by possession. Year by year.

There were heartbreaks that didn’t fade quickly.
Losses that sat heavy.
Film sessions that hurt to watch.
Long nights wondering if it would ever be enough.

But they came back.
Every time.
Stronger. Tougher. Hungrier.

Braden — diving on hardwood like it’s the last play he’ll ever make.
Fletcher — letting it fly with ice in his veins and no fear in his heart.
Trey — fighting in the paint, every rebound like it belongs to him alone.

They didn’t just wear Purdue.
They carried it.
The past.
The expectations.
The hope of everyone who ever believed.

Tonight… all of it meets at the same place.
Every sprint.
Every bruise.
Every drop of sweat.
Every tear no one saw.

Win… and the road leads home.
To Indy.
To a Final Four.
To a chance to write their names into forever.

This is what they stayed for.
This is what they sacrificed for.
This is what they bled for.

Three teammates.
Three brothers.
Three Boiler legends.

One last ride.

Leave everything.
Feel everything.
Give everything.

And if this is the final chapter…
make it one they’ll talk about for generations.

Boiler Up. 🚂

Feeling really grateful for this team and how we all came together this season for our first 2A sectional championship. Back to work on Monday to get the regional win!

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.

Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

Super proud of you J!

[Quarterback Magazine @quarterbackmag]

Quarterback @J_Roach12 is a dual-threat quarterback in the Class of 2027, playing for Adams Central High School in Monroe, IN.

Known for his impressive speed, Jamison clocks a 4.56s 40-yard dash and has a knack for launching the ball deep into enemy territory. His elusiveness in the pocket, combined with elite body control and downfield vision, sets him apart as a playmaker.

Jamison also excels in the weight room and classroom, benching 300 lbs while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
