About that Duke whistle… @drewcookwrites

Iowa State has it too.

Energy is contagious.

You either affect (energy giver) people or you infect (energy vampire) people.

McMinn Central’s Malea Masingale (c/o 2027) tonight in a win over Sequoyah:

20 points
18 rebounds
4 steals
5 blocks

She’s averaging a cool 19.5/16/5s/5b over her last two. Unbelievable player.

@MasingaleMalea @D_Stone7 @central_mcminn

[Dakota Stone @D_Stone7]

Worth the listen for ALL basketball players & coaches! 🔥🏀

[A David Collier @CollieronTV]

"The offensive individual skill that he's not been doing led to one of the best performances that we've had as a Red Raider."

-Grant McCasland on what helped LeJuan Watts to a career-high 36 points on 12-of-13 shooting against Northern Colorado.

Long answer but worth a listen.

[Dakota Stone @D_Stone7]

It’s good to be a Chargerette!

[Chargerette Basketball @central_mcminn]

Final from the Roundhouse! Chargerettes beat Concord Christian 57-47 to head into the Christmas break.

The 10 Truths Parents Rarely See

1. Coaches lose sleep.
2. Decisions aren’t personal.
3. Playing time is complex.
4. Culture matters more than stats.
5. Accountability is care.
6. Coaches invest emotionally.
7. Development isn’t instant.
8. Hard feedback is intentional.
9. Wins don’t tell the whole story.
10. Coaches remember kids forever.

Perspective matters.

[Dakota Stone @D_Stone7]

Incredibly proud of these Chargerettes!

[Drew Cook @drewcookwrites]

McMinn Central girls basketball got a huuuuuuge 65-61 win over 3A defending champion Heritage tonight.

The young Chargerettes have taken their lumps this year, but that’s a huge win over 9-1 Heritage.

Malea Masingale led all scorers with 25. Millie Latham had 16. @D_Stone7

[Dakota Stone @D_Stone7]

What about intentional grounding???

[Drew Cook @drewcookwrites]

@DPASports Chargers win!!!

Keyshawn Moore drained the game-winning three pointer with 10 seconds left and McMinn Central holds off the Woodland comeback for a 44-43 win! @DPASports

[Dakota Stone @D_Stone7]

My guy!!!

[Drew Cook @drewcookwrites]

John Mazzei for the win!

McMinn Central wins it 49-47 over CSAS at the buzzer on the putback from Mazzei. @coachcurtis03 @CHSwarhorse
