College basketball team goes nuts after successfully teaching their freshman teammate how to ride a bike.
The Fort Scott Community College team in Kansas was seen cheering on Taylor Frost as he successfully rode the bike.
Head basketball coach Matt Glover organized the event for a team bonding activity.
“He provided the bike and helmet for Taylor and his teammates were able to teach Taylor something I was unsuccessful in doing,” Frost’s mother said.
Wholesome.
Jacksonville Jaguars star Travis Hunter responds to reporter who asked him why he got baptized before his game.
"It's a crazy question. Why did I get baptized? It's Sunday, it's God's day, and I've been planning to get baptized for a minute."
"I want to change my life, I want to become a better man..."
"It means a lot, you know, becoming a better man, leaving my old flesh and just becoming the new Travis."
Great answer.
Representation matters! When our children see educators who look like them, believe in them, and pour into them, it changes lives. Shoutout to these brothers from Charles R. Drew High School who show up for their students!

Deion Sanders is the face of College Football. There are better teams. There are better programs.
But win, lose or draw, no one has captivated college football like Coach Prime, Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Colorado.
Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter both made plays against Baylor when their team and Coach needed them the most. They made those plays in the biggest moments of the game because prime time players, make prime time plays in prime time moments.
Deion Sanders is Prime Time and his influence rubs off on his entire program.
A lot of people wondered why Colorado’s fans rushed the field after beating a 2-1 Baylor team. They rushed the field because they know what it was like before Coach Prime and his Louis luggage showed up.
There were no season ticket sell outs since 1996. With Deion, season tickets are sold out for the second straight year. School applications are up 20% with a 50.5% increase in Black student applicants.
Colorado made $113.2 million from its 2023 home games alone, which led to a 51% increase in revenue through media rights with Coach Prime at the helm.
Before Coach Prime, no one searched for a Colorado game. Last year alone Colorado averaged 7.2 Million viewers per game, with 5 games ranked in the 25 most watched college Football games of the year. That trend continues this year as well.
Coach Prime turned the worst Power 5 school in the country into one that PEOPLE CARE ABOUT.
Win or lose. You watch.
Cheering for or against. You watch.
However, his biggest accomplishment isn’t making the Colorado Buffaloes relevant again. His biggest accomplishment is empowering the young men in his program to believe in themselves, trust God and rejuvenating an entire city in the face of massive push back against his style.
Deion Sanders took 2 HBCU football players in Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter and helped coach them into 2 of the best players in the country who are both in the Heisman race.
Took multiple HBCU football players and helped coach them into high level Power 5 starters who have NFL futures.
You see the thing about Coach Deion Sanders is he is just as misunderstood as he was as a player. With him, you earn what you get and every single player in his program knows that.
On a deeper level, watching him coach his son’s is inspirational. What Deion and Lebron have done for their families and their son’s should be celebrated.
As fathers they weren’t just there, they were active. They didn’t just have the title of baby daddy, they are fathers.
Black Fatherhood has long been mischaracterized as absent and negative.
It’s amazing to see Black Fatherhood today on the highest levels be characterized as present and supportive.
Olympic Gold Medalist Sydney McLaughlin on her relationship with God:
“I credit all that I do to God. Regardless of what happens, He’s going to get the praise. Every time I step on the track I pray “let me be the vessel in which you’re glorified”… That’s why I do what I do.” 🙏
Olympic Gold Medalist Sydney McLaughlin on being “canceled” for speaking out about her faith.
“I don’t live for the approval of people… even if an endorsement or something wants to leave, I know God will provide.”
We need more of this. 🙏
