I gotten some questions on whether I'll continue SWIN Hoops. 100% yes. Im unequivocally not stopping our mission to help SW Indiana HS teams & players get exposure.
Im looking for someone passionate to take over day-to-day operations & carry thru plans for the site. DM me --nb

Please help. Evansville (IN) Central Boys coach Rodney Walker has Been heart+soul for Bears as JV coach last 10 yrs. 2nd year as HC. In district plagued by poverty, coach does unseen work-driving around picking up kids, feeding players, taking them in. NOBODY deserves this more!
