Congrats CI! This is on the heels of what he described as his “best job coaching” (football) this past fall and he follows that up with another Final 4 appearance for his Lady Hornets.
It’s hard to find another coach in this area who is as dedicated to his team, and his community, as Hawthorne’s Corneilus Ingram.
