Phenomenal player and an even better teammate. Coachable, gives 100% every day, and is the definition of “we over me”. Donnie will be a great addition to any college program.

@novahooplegends @CJollay @novahoopsCom Thank you for the kind words, Chris! Partonen can be pronounced however you want if it means the girls get a shoutout :) Appreciate all that you both do.

Graduation day for my first senior class 🥹 From a 0 win season to one of the best in recent school history, the loyalty, resilience, and dedication these 4 showed is a model for kids everywhere. So proud of these girls!

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

Our season came to an end tonight. Any positive words we could say about this group would be an understatement. Our girls made their school proud, made their community proud, and, most importantly, made themselves proud. We would choose this team over anyone, always. 💙💛👟

This group of seniors started rebuilding with us as sophomores from our very first day. They never gave up on the vision, and we can only hope to keep honoring the work they’ve done for years to come. Grateful to get this one for them tonight.

After only winning three games the last three years, the Lewis girls' hard work is starting to pay off, with a 4-0 start this season. Last night Donnie Goodwin had 15 points, seven boards, and five assists to lead a 43-38 Lancer win over Osbourn. Story, box score here: https://t.co/Q8i6cYQifZ

Hard to put into words how happy I am for our girls starting 4-0. There are many battles to come, but no one can ever take this moment away from them. This has always been, and will likely always be, my favorite team I’ve ever been a part of #jobnotdone 🫶🏼

Took the squad to see @GeorgetownHoops today!

Ready to take on year 3 with my favorite basketball program ever 🫶🏀

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

Started our second annual camp today for @lewisgirlsbball. We tripled our numbers this year! At the end of the day, when asked what was their favorite part, one camper said “the counselors”. Seeing my Lewis girls impact younger girls is everything. Extra grateful today.

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

If you want to see a well-coached team, regardless of sport, you need to pull film on @LewisMensSoccer. Besides the spacing and precision his teams play with, they have heart and a toughness that is unmatched. Grateful to be a witness of this incredible program!

LEWIS BOYS SOCCER - DISTRICT CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!! They played with discipline and poise all night, as they have all season. So proud of these incredible Lancers!!!!!! 🏆⚽️ @LewisMensSoccer @LewisLancers

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

Having girls go to their first AAU tryouts ever this weekend and say how confident they felt, means everything to me. Building up girls who believe in themselves and develop a love of the game is what it’s about over here. Our time for wins will come ‼️🏀💛

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

Between @NFHSNetwork and @novahoopsCom, tonight feels like a mini-March Madness and I’m here for it. Thankful to the work of both parties to make viewing all of these games a possibility 🙌🏼 Basketball season truly is the best season.

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

Our PG hit our center in transition for the And 1. Middle of the second quarter, but she celebrates her teammate like it’s a game winner 😭 I love this team.

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

@CoachVerloop Oh my! I never even considered if you have equipment besides shoes 😂

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

All my teacher/coaches can probably relate to the struggle of your classroom being taken over by second backpacks of your athletes 🤣

[Sam Partonen @_coachsam]

Celebrated TeamsGiving with my favorite squad today 🫶🏼 foods from Honduras, Sudan, India, and more. Always thankful for this group!
