@sportsinkansas Ryvonni Cheatham - Leavenworth, 23 points and 8 rebounds in upset win vs. St. James Academy

[sambo @_CallMeSamuel]

Leavenworth’s first postseason win since 2012!

This group just finds a way. A true testament to what total buy in and being the group that’s the most together can get you.

[Liam @liamkeating7]

Wow!

Leavenworth closed the game on a 12-0 run in the final 2:20 to shock St. James Academy 61-60.

Unreal finish.

Leavenworth vs Shawnee Heights for sub-state title on Friday.

i'm going to assume what the other guys are sick of most is the story line being about darryn peterson leaving games early when they have worked their tails off to keep the ship sailing. they deserve more credit. melvin, flory, bryson, tre... they will be heroes come march.

[sambo @_CallMeSamuel]

@MarkAGunnels Remy Martin is proof of this lol

[sambo @_CallMeSamuel]

@dillondavis3 revisionist history imo. it’s easy to say that with his performance now. there’s no guarantee he would have played over the guys that had already committed. could just as easily be Kohl Rosario or more likely Corbin Allen (with whom he shared the DiRenna award with last spring)

Melvin Council Wabashing on the court and then immediately getting a steal that leads to a dunk.

Take a little more than 3 hour drive from Derby to Liberty, Missouri & you’ll find this going on December 27-30. A massive 24 team, 3 division tournament.

1st day we can practice again in Kansas will be December 28. Play on January 2. Something to work on next? 🤔🤝 @KBCA_Tweets

Another great alumni game!

Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…

Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.

It’s about people.

It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.

Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.

It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.

Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.

And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.

It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.

Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.

And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.

It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.

Over conversations you need to have.

Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.

It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.

The scoreboard, not the hours.

The result, not the relationships.

And yet, you show up again.

You plan. You teach. You model. You care.

As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:

What you do matters.

Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.

Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.

That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.

As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.

🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.
