Rafael Cohen | BBA Select | Class of 2027 | 6’1 G | Saint Stanislaus (MS)
High-IQ guard who plays with great pace and has an excellent feel for the game. Thrives attacking downhill consistently makes the right read. Shows maturity in how he handles pressure, creates for others, and manages the flow of the offense. @rafacohenn

Up bright and early for team camp at Ole Miss. Three games today and we are headed back home. Facilities and hospitality have been awesome! #RTRTRF#GoRocksGo#RockPride
They had the opportunity to play in the all-star game for one of the Rock-a-chaw greats, Brian Butler ‘02.
Butler, in his first season leading Gulfport High, finished the year as the District 4-7A Champions while securing the District 4-7A AND Sun Herald Coach of the Year award
Last week we had the privilege to watch two of our rising seniors participate in the South Mississippi All-Star game held at St. Martin High School.
6’2 Alan Gilliam (District 8-3A MVP
6’7 Max Baria (District 8-3A Defensive MVP)
Tradition Doesn’t Graduate!

"When talent meets talent, talent is no longer enough. Now it's about character. Now it's about preparation. Now it's about consistency. Now it's about who is relentless -who wants it the most."
@inkyjohnson
Talent is required, but habits and character divide good from great.
This is what CULTURE looks like
Look how the entire bench goes and picks up their teammate who got a the floor
This is big time, and this is what winning looks like from a program

How do you DESTROY a Team Culture?
Drip by Drip…
1. Skip reps
2. Show up late
3. Blame others
4. Take-off plays
5. Negative energy
6. No accountability
7. Sloppy in practice
8. No team cohesion
9. No communication
10. Bad body language
11. Complain about calls
How do I define Culture?
- Culture is what you allow.
- Culture is what you emphasize.
- Culture is EVERY DAY.
Protect Your Culture.
Culture WINS🏆
