Blessed by the gift of grace Romans 5:1-11. My favorite job is being Adrian Mary & Charlotte’s Boppa Dean 👴🏻

Humility, Passion, Unity, Servanthood & Thankfulness were instilled in my family thanks to 2 generations of Bennett’s. All of us better because of them. No words do justice to their impact. Beyond blessed that they were in our lives: Thank you to my Coach Bennett’s ❤️

Loved the conversation with @tdecorah8791 and going down memory lane with him. His podcast is always a must listen.

On the next episode (Mon, March 16th) of Survive & Thrive 8791, I sit down with Dean Vander Plas of Oostburg HS, a two-time state champion who went on to play men's basketball for UW-Green Bay.
A great story of passion, perseverance, and community pride.

Danny Hurly might be a championship coach but his consistently awful behavior towards officiating is beyond deplorable. @BIGEASTMBB should suspend him from the Big East tournament.

Friday's TBT opener for @CourtStKingsTBT was more than just a trip down memory lane: it was an OU team's first win in TBT since its inception.

Four scored in double figures, including three former Bobcats.

Three of my favorite Ripon Tigers. Got to coach these 3 & they all embody what #BeRipon is all about. Now 2 of them are guiding the current Tigers and BVP got to work alongside Coach Bradley(s) at camp in the good “ole” Tiger Den.
