[Justin Balwanz @CoachBalwanz]

Incredibly proud of the @NMBoysBBall squad after our final June team camp. Not only did we finish the month with an outstanding 21-1 record, but we also grew so much—learning valuable lessons about ourselves as individuals and as a team. Big thanks to @WLU_MBB for a awesome camp!

Excited to see our guys compete this weekend at West Liberty Team Camp to finish off our June period!

Huskies went 2-1 today @Fairmont_hoops shootout. Competed against some of the top AAAA Schools in the state. We got stronger as the day went on and finished the day with back to back wins. Special thanks to the FSU coaching staff and players for a great overall experience!

[NMBoysBasketball @NMBoysBBall]

The Huskies are excited to compete at Fairmont State against some of the best competition in the state! Thank you @TrentHowardFSU for setting this shootout up!

[Steves Sports @StevesSportsYT]

Some great hoops so far ! Just finished watching Martinsburg vs North Marion which featured 3 top 10 players in the 2027 class of WV ! Balwanz and Ramsey came up with the win and King played great but Martinsburg 6’9 Center Mikah Green stood out the most to me , his game is always improving . Great game to the final buzzer by some of the best players in the state !

We had our first book study of this off season. Our first book is @JonGordon11 The Power of a Positive Team. This will be book 1 of 3 this off season. We had great discussions today about, being positive, trust, belief, vision, and culture. Is your focus the Fruit or the Root?

Keep woking!

Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”

It’s more than just X’s & O’s. It’s about leading young men, relationships, listening, making difficult decisions, putting others first and always leading by example. I witness first hand this man’s dedication to those principles. #Deserved ⁦@NMBoysBBall⁩

@JDakan12 Thank you D!

[Justin Balwanz @CoachBalwanz]

An absolute pleasure and privilege to represent the North Marion community with this group of young men. Gave everything they had to be the best that they were capable of. The sting will fade, the bond will last…Couldn’t be more proud. #HuskyHoops
