So proud to have coached this kid. Willed himself to become an All-Conference player this year. On top of it he is an awesome kid and leader. You deserve it all Derek!
I know how hard you worked and how bad you wanted to be good at the game you love. I saw your determination and dedication to improving your game. You put in a lot of time/blood/sweat/tears over the years, I couldn’t be more proud of you Derek, congrats, you EARNED this honor.
Derek’s career ended last night. So many emotions, mostly an empty feeling we won’t be shooting at 6 am, practicing, scouting, strategizing together anymore but I’m damn thankful for all of the great memories and time we spent together over the years. So proud of you #3.
@TyNaquin you are a class act and made 4 fans for life especially one little girl. Very classy the way you took care of my daughter after the game tonight! She has a new favorite baseball player. Thank you!
My favorite National Championship performance is from 2003 when Syracuse defeated Kansas - Gerry McNamara hit six three point shots in the first half!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @Coach_McNamara
2 years in a row! Not surprising. Great kid from a great family! I know a few kids that want to be just like @riley_pop33 and what a great role model to emulate. Congrats Riley and the Popplewell family!
