Humbled by this award. This doesn’t occur without special players who buy in and a great staff who sacrifice. This is a team award without question.

Congrats @RavenFootballBC ... Keep your heads high men. You galvanized an entire community... BC, Atchison, watch parties across the country, and made Daytona red. You were so fun to watch and embodied everything this school stands for ... it hurts... but be proud. We are of you.

Yesterday one of our freshmen celebrated his birthday. Joel Adese is from Nigeria and doesn’t have any family in the US... or does he? His brothers stepped up and got him a cake. THIS is WHY we love this group. THIS is WHY this group has a chance to be SPECIAL. Culture matters.

Season ends on a tough one 79-74 in OT at MNU. We played hard & had some chances to close. That is what a 4 vs 5 game should be. We came up short. Thanks to our 2 seniors. Selfless & tough. We have come a long way when tied for 3rd and 17 wins isn’t a good season. Thanks 21 & 0
