Some wonderful recognition for four of the best players to ever wear the Charger uniform. Congrats to Jeremy Goode, Trey Wertz, Devon Dotson and Grant Williams for being members of the Charlotte Observer's top 30 players from the last 40 years. I'm honored to have coached them.
It is quite an honor to have coached the team that has been named as the #1 high school boys team from Charlotte over the last 40 years. Countless memories that I will always cherish with some special coaches and players. https://t.co/l6FBL00SpN

Last Friday, a former local high school basketball star turned NBA player gave back to his community.
The Grant Williams Family Foundation has partnered with Walter G. Byers Elementary School, a westside Charlotte school, to help the students learn computer coding two times per week on campus.
As part of that instruction, the Foundation sent students in the program on a field trip to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in uptown Charlotte to expose them to the possibilities of where a coding-based curriculum could lead.
“We believe that every child should have the opportunity to gain experience coding, a skill
that's becoming increasingly important in today's digital age,” Williams said.
Williams, a starter for the Dallas Mavericks, was raised in west Charlotte and graduated from Providence Day School, where he helped lead the basketball team to a state championship and an appearance in the then DICKS' national high school basketball tournament in New York.
Williams later became a two-time SEC player of the year at Tennessee and a first round NBA draft pick.
Williams also earned his undergraduate degree in supply chain management in three years and is currently First Vice President of the National Basketball Players Association.
A career-high performance from Devon Dotson and a season-high scoring night from Hamidou Diallo helped the @CapitalCityGoGo earn a gritty win in the 905! The Go-Go are now 5-2 overall and 3-1 on the road.
💥 Diallo: 30 PTS, 8 AST, 6 REB
💥 Baldwin Jr: 20 PTS, 5 REB, 8/11 FG
Back where it all began 🙌
Before @Grant2Will’s golf tournament, we had the chance to visit his high school, where his basketball team won the state championship in 2016. #MFFL
