[Jahsxiah Gibson @JahsxiahGibson]

I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.

Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.

Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.

Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me.

Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.

I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.

Start now.

@AzCowboys480 @jacob_seliga The Thunder side was full. Corina side is usually more full - there other sports running that night so likely impacted the attendance

[Arizona Boosters Foundation @ArizonaBoosters]

The Tempe Football Boosters Foundation is proud to support the “Unknown Boyz” 7v7 Football Team as their official booster organization. The team is led by Coach Phil Braxton, the Unknown Boyz are composed of talented student-athletes from across the Valley who come together to compete at a high level in 7v7 football tournaments.

As the team’s boosters, the Tempe Football Boosters Foundation is committed to providing organizational, financial, and community support to help these athletes succeed both on and off the field. The program emphasizes skill development, teamwork, discipline, and exposure, preparing athletes for continued growth and the next level of competition.

We are currently seeking community and corporate sponsors to support the team with jerseys, tournament fees, and travel expenses. Sponsorships directly reduce financial barriers and create meaningful opportunities for these young athletes to train, compete, and be seen.

If you’re interested in supporting the Unknown Boyz and investing in the future of Valley youth athletics, we’d love to connect.

[BJ Media @BJMedia1]

On a day that has sparked a conversation about everything that is wrong with 7v7 football, I wanna shout out @Coach_Brax_ and what he has done with the Unknown Boyz program in less than 1 month. This is what club 7v7 football is supposed to be about.

Congrats to our Girls Track and Field All City winners! @DVThunderTrack

[Coach Shearer ⚡️ @CoachShearerJ]

Vote for Lizzy! She is truly a class act and came back to dominate Long Jump on Saturday!

[tamika byrd @pikabyrd]

@LSscribe Better Vibes Next Week. - Athletes you Rock !!

[Coach Shearer ⚡️ @CoachShearerJ]

Image Not Found.
We don’t have a photo of Lizzy Gannon competing yesterday.

Disqualified over a check-in rule that provided no competitive advantage either way.

She came in ranked No. 1 in the state in the triple jump, but never got the chance to jump.

She handled it with more grace than most adults would.

Our athletes deserve better.

[tamika byrd @pikabyrd]

@SunDevilTFXC Congratulations DeMar!!

[Coach Shearer ⚡️ @CoachShearerJ]

Junior Lizzy Gannon is still just getting started. She came into yesterdays meet with a PR of 35’2” and went 38’8”. She has a 4.0 unweighted GPA, and a 4.5 weighted GPA. Uncommitted!

@jordonr That whole segment is comical...screams greedy, exploitive, whatever youd like to call it. He is really convinced his calculations are 'relatively' the same 😅 3-5% is 3-5% .. 20% is 20% .🥴

[tamika byrd @pikabyrd]

@CBB_Central That math made no sense.. it is nit relatively the same 😅
