Dave is a perfect example of a kid that just wants to do anything for the team. He does whatever we ask of him and he's just happy to do whatever he can do for the team. He truly is a team player.

academy coach floor game hard heart kids last played player proud sacred since state team walked win
It has been 31 years since a player at Sacred Heart Academy has walked off the floor and played their last game in a state championship, that is an accomplishment. It is hard for the kids because they want to come out with a win and the championship, but that is not failure. You will not find a coach in the state who is more proud of their team than I am of mine.
chance eat hungry wait
I can tell you right now that I am still hungry for another chance at this. And I know I can't wait 31 years to eat again.

There is always a concern going into every game. There was concern coming into tonight's game, and there will be concern going into Friday's game. You can always find something to work on, and these kids know they need to continue to get better if they want to win.

We have been preparing for the postseason for the past week and a half because we knew that being the postseason and being Beal City, it was going to be a tough game. Anything can happen now, so we just made sure we were well prepared and we did what we needed to do to win.
easy five guard guys hard leading
We have five guys that all contribute. Each night, someone different is leading us in scoring. That is what makes us tough. It is hard to guard five players, but it is very easy to guard just one or two.
african basketball caucasian coaching concern excited means team
It was never a concern for me. It never excited me. I just look at myself as another basketball coach. Being an African American coaching a Caucasian team means nothing.
amazing great group kids lately mean moment share word
It's something you can't put in words. You really can't say how much that would mean for us. To share that with this group of kids would be amazing - that word has been said a lot lately around here, it really would be one great moment in time.
develop excited glad grow hard life move opportunity six state taught watch wonderful work
It's going to be hard for me because I have had the opportunity to work with six wonderful kids. They have all taught me something about life and to just watch them grow and develop is amazing. I am excited for their future. So tomorrow, I am glad to be in the state championship with them, but it will be hard to see them move on.
