Our first-ever “GAMECHANGER of the Week” on “Talk It UP!” Powered by the Upshot League is awarded to recently-retired Englewood High School athletic director Cynthia Bateh! After 44 years as a teacher, AD and volleyball coach, Coach Bateh retired last month. As our friend Tammie Talley so eloquently put it: “Coach Bateh’s impact on Duval Schools student-athletes is immeasurable. She is a dedication and inspiration!”

Thank YOU, Coach Bateh, for CHANGING THE GAME for Northeast Florida sports, especially WOMEN’S SPORTS!

rob ! appreciate your interest passion and writing!! keep at it!

[Rob from Chester, Pa @knoxrob1]

It’s frustrating not to get more engagement on the women’s basketball work I do.

Thinking of what I believed were quality & insightful stories I wrote on Kymora Johnson’s thought process, 2 HBCU coaching hires & a deep dive on coach Frese.

I guess I need to be better. 🤷‍♂️

@weballintoo @upshotleague Love the support and promotion. OT tonight!
