@rockhillpd Any details about where the supplies are headed up there? Doesn’t change our decision to donate. Just wondering.

[John McDonald @john_mac15]

@TurboRichard1 @NHSCoachWofford Let’s go! Representing!

@RhineKirkland Darn right!

[John McDonald @john_mac15]

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there! A couple thoughts.
1) strong mothers make the world go round
2) society doesn’t do nearly enough to support moms (especially working moms)
3) God loves and values women even if they aren’t moms

[John McDonald @john_mac15]

Appreciation post for @EthanDarden3. Got to see him pitch today and he even tossed my daughter a ball (not knowing she was my daughter at the time). Super proud of all this guy has done and can’t wait to watch what else he accomplishes! @NHSTrojanBB
