Thank you high school basketball! I’d like to thank god, my family, coaches, and teammates, I wouldn’t be here today without everyone! To a 4-19 freshman year to packing the crowd almost every home game for Junior and Senior year is something bigger than basketball! Not all outcomes are the way we want, but the journey that came with it was everything. To be in a district final game for the first time our school has been in over 25 years!
