Tonight meant everything.
Watching my first born @DanaejaLove out there and become a National Champion with Eastern Arizona… that’s something I’ll never be able to fully put into words. All the early mornings, the long nights, the sacrifices nobody sees…
I’ve seen the work when nobody’s watching. I’ve seen the tears, the doubt, the pressure… and I’ve seen her keep going anyway.
As her dad, I’m just proud. Proud of who she is, proud of how she carries herself, and proud of the journey she’s on.
This is only the beginning.

Proud of this one. Last year’s state champs led by a D1 commit who’s an outstanding player. Respect for that program and the way they compete. Let me talk to you about my baby girl... Darissa just kept showing up, doing the little things, and rising to the moment when it mattered
Highlights vs. Crater - a tough team and last year’s state champs. They’re led by a D1 commit who’s an excellent player and true competitor. Grateful for the matchup and proud of our group for earning the win.
