After 12 1/2 years of being a teacher and coach at CLC, I’ve decided to take the position of AD at Woodstock North. While I will miss the Tiger community greatly, I look forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact with the Thunder community! #TigerPride#NewChapterAtWNHS
I am thankful for this program, our incredible student athletes, coaching staff, and support staff. Especially thankful for the 15 seniors that poured everything into our program the past three years.

Crazy one tonight vs. Auburn. We clawed our way out of a late fourth quarter hole to win 52-51.
Meyer (23), Taege (12), Nanos (11) lead in scoring. Storz tough defensively.

Unfortunately will be out for the season after tearing my acl and meniscus earlier in camp. Trusting God’s timing, there’s not a setback I can’t overcome with God. Taking it one day at a time and controlling what I can control, I’ll be back better 🙏🏼

Natalija Jokic, wife of @nuggets basketball superstar Nikola Jokic, has a profound story that traces back to her infancy.
As a 7-month-old baby, Natalija was tragically among the 200,000+ Serbs ethnically cleansed from their ancestral homes in Croatia during Operation Storm, which took place from August 4-7, 1995.
Natalija’s journey began under tragic circumstances, immortalized in a poignant image on the front page of the Serbian newspaper @novosti_rs as an infant cradled in her mother’s arms while her family sought refuge from the terror.
Fast forward 28 years, and Natalija is back in the headlines. This time, she’s being celebrated in media outlets across America, like the @nypost and @people, as the wife and partner of @NBA Finals MVP, champion, and the greatest basketball player on the planet.
In contrast to August 1995, when Natalija’s mother held her in fear and anguish, Natalija is today seen holding their daughter with joy replacing the despair that once marked her family’s journey.
Natalija’s powerful story serves as a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable hardship, brighter days can and will come, a testament to God’s unfathomable ways.
