A bad coach tears people down. An average coach focuses only on results. A good coach teaches skills and systems. A great coach builds confidence and trust. An exceptional coach helps people believe in themselves at a higher level. And the best coaches impact lives long after the scoreboard stops mattering.
We welcomed the Class of 2026 into the noble profession of arms.
These warriors have answered the call to serve something greater than themselves—I could not be more proud to stand alongside them.

College basketball team goes nuts after successfully teaching their freshman teammate how to ride a bike.
The Fort Scott Community College team in Kansas was seen cheering on Taylor Frost as he successfully rode the bike.
Head basketball coach Matt Glover organized the event for a team bonding activity.
“He provided the bike and helmet for Taylor and his teammates were able to teach Taylor something I was unsuccessful in doing,” Frost’s mother said.
Wholesome.
I don’t follow hockey, but this had me tearing up. They brought their teammate’s (who was killed by a drunk driver) kids out onto the ice with their dad’s jersey to celebrate the moment. 🥹
I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.
Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.
Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.
Take your grades serious. Choose who you hang around wisely. Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out. Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches. Work hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me.
Be intentional. Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.
I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.
Start now.
This dude was outstanding tonight. Caught up with Deer Lakes standout Evan Moore, who scored 22 points and was excellent defensively as No. 13 Deer Lakes upset No. 4 Derry, 57-46, in a WPIAL Class 4A first-round game.
Last night was bigger than a performance. It was a moment carved into musical history. Reminding everyone that rock isn’t nostalgia - it’s alive, evolving, and still the heartbeat of music. Post you were pure magic, a shapeshifter with a voice that can bend into any genre. Slash, Duff, Andrew, Chad you are the master of your craft and complete icons. Truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️ Ozzy was definitely in the building ✌️ 🙏🤘
Took a hard pass on the Grammys because I’m not interested in watching the stars vomit their political opinions, but the Internet allows me to pick and choose highlights, so I picked and chose this Ozzy tribute.
An awesome moment for one young man in West County who got a chance to score a basket on senior night!
