Great story! Adam Schiff also helped lead the MD basketball team to the school’s first ever Sectional Championship in 1999. Congratulations to the Schiff and Miller families!

Mater Dei. Party like it's 1999.

The Wildcats are 2A state champions after an extra inning thriller against Bluffton. Max Miller delivered the game winner in the 8th and Darret Branson closed the door.

@JWReamer Same reason we can’t have a shot clock in Indiana High School basketball. The old regime can’t change or realize this would not be that hard to change for the better 🤷

Incredibly sad to learn of the passing of 2001 graduate Jared Schiff. Jared is a member of the MD Athletics Hall of Fame and one of the most talented three-sport athletes in Mater Dei history. May his memory be a blessing to all of his family and friends.

The NBA Finals MVP didn't go to a prep school, didn’t transfer to another HS, and didn’t transfer in college either.

Coaches are really good when their players are really good. Never forget that.

I’ve been in a semi final game as a HC and I’ve also been 3-7.

I can tell you with certainty the 3-7 year was a better coaching job.

People who focus solely on W/L will always miss the mark.

Parents poisoning team culture through their kids.

Your whispers in the car become their words in the locker room.

Choose wisely.

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

Parents for the love of god please stay out of your son or daughters dugout. Players, stop going to visit mommy and daddy during the game. You might as well go out on the field with an emotional support stuffed animal at this point it’s getting a little nuts. Get their water or whatever they need before the game you don’t need to visit each other 5 times a game and then wonder why they can’t do hard things on their own.

It’s the World Series. 8 teams left. It would be great if we could get the name of the participating schools correct. Kind of a big deal for our institutions and programs.

[Mater Dei Basketball @MaterDeiBball]

Shout out to all of our high school players and managers for working with the next generation of Wildcats this week. Couldn’t ask for better mentors for our feeder kids!

[Shane Burkhart @CoachBurk22]

Congratulations to Bosse”s Jayden Jones on qualifying for state in the 110 and 300 hurdles (first place!) love this young man! Special talent will graduate next year with associates degree and high school diploma at the same time. These are the young men deserving of recognition!
