Changing culture takes time. Every day is a battle against ego, insecurity, self-preservation, busyness. What was good yesterday can be on shaky ground today. But the fight is worth it.

Believe in yourself, your people, and the vision. Celebrate progress.

Show up daily.

I remember in 2020 he brought in his son to LA Fitness in Bakery Square and signed him up. Mind you it was the pandemic so basketball courts were closed. Naron and his kid would do ball handing drills on the sprint track. Hard work pays off!

Fifty-one years ago, Roosevelt “Jack” Jackson helped Schenley win a PIAA title. Two decades later, son Naron helped the Spartans reach the quarterfinals. Naron now coaches his son, Naron II, & the two have Obama a win away from a surprising title‼️🏆

Justin Fry might be one of the most underrated players in the #WPIAL

Last night he led the way for TJ in a win over Penn Hills to advance to the semis.

The 2027 prospect is a gritty, athletic & smooth bucket getter. Keep an eye on this TJ team as they take on Hampton on Tuesday.

Well deserved! Check out the PG’s interview with our guy Nick Trklja.

Thomas Jefferson's Nick Trklja is our WPIAL Boys Athlete of the Week! The Post-Gazette's Steve Rotstein talks to Nick about his game-winning layup against Erie & much more.

Another buzzer beater at Peters Township for Thomas Jefferson as Noah Sear steals a 42-39 win from deep range.

Steelers defensive problems simplified…

Too old/slow in the secondary. Not physical enough at DL or ILB. When we play nickel we can’t stop anybody from running down our throat and when we play base we can’t cover anybody.

It’s not going to get fixed anytime soon either.

[Kevin Baldrige @kjBALDRIGE]

Steelers defense really trying to be only defense ever to give up 1 TD per million dollars of payroll this year.

[Kevin Baldrige @kjBALDRIGE]

Steelers defense.

Tradition Never Graduates. It’s a great day to be a Jaguar. 🐆 #Boo1🙏

Thomas Jefferson playing with heavy hearts after former star QB Brad “Boo” Dawson died tragically Monday. His brother, Brian, is TJ’s QB’s coach and is coaching tonight. The Jaguars are honoring Brad by wearing these wristbands.
