@IGCAcoach Congratulations!

Happy World Softball Day🥎

@CoachDaniels06 Depends on the program. My assistant coaches have a job too. And sending invites are a part of that. Free invites to a camp can be considered a gift. Not allowed. I agree with doing your research. Good message

[Garland Shirley @gmoe400]

@ToriTyson @VolsPAGuy That should never be ok

[Garland Shirley @gmoe400]

@LStarkweather_1 @ClarkeU @CoachDuross @coachjosh32 @309Gold Great having you on campus!

@CoachDotty18 Hey I made the C team and made exactly 1 shot all year. And was called for an offensive foul on the play!

[Clarke Pride Athletics @ClarkeAthletics]

Congratulations to @CoachHocking on his 1st victory as a head coach!

9 years in the making!

This week, the State Fire Marshal presented our own Lt. Rick Thomas with the 2023 Governor's Award for Fire Prevention Officer of the Year!

Lt. Thomas was recognized for his dedication to public education and we're lucky to see his passion here every day.

Congrats, Lt. Thomas!

Why are u concerned about what they gon say? Do the things u said u would do. Go to the places u said u would go & Experience the life u feel u deserve. We get 1 shot at this thang called life & u deserve the absolute best so what are u waiting on? Let's go baby. #CoachPrime

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

Very classy move by Deion Sanders, who made sure to say this during his press conference today:

"Henry Blackburn is a good player who played a phenomenal game... This is a still young man trying to make it in life ... He does not deserve a death threat over a game."

"I forgive him. Our team forgives him. Travis Hunter has forgiven him. Let's move on. That kid does not deserve that."

Much respect to Coach Prime.👏

[Clarke Pride Athletics @ClarkeAthletics]

Congratulations to @CoachHicksCU on his 1st career win as a head coach!

We need to work on the player awareness for missing out on the gatorade shower but we obviously take the W!

@HaydenHawk24 @coachajkings I hear you. I was there too. And in the weight room with a lot of the other athletes. And I lived in Des Moines when he was with the Barnstormers. He was always incredible. But too many people take away from Johnson to elevate Kurt. They were both UNI greats.

[Frank Martin @coachFMartin]

If you choose a team sport, and your desire for individual success is greater than your desire for your team’s success, your journey will be filled with a lot of frustration.
Winning on a team is fueled by everyone’s sacrifice.

@IowaEliteRed see you tonight in MN!
