Tonight we are incredibly proud to honor these 7 Seniors! Safe to say they’ve left their mark on this program. Come out & support these guys as they take the court for the last time in Assembly Hall when the DuQuoin Indians come to town! #traditionnevergraduates

The season finally started and after 2 practices we have seen the guys practice their hearts out. They have given each other everything they have and I can’t be more proud. #EmbraceTheTarget

Central may have beaten us tonight but there’s no other lockerroom on the planet I would rather be in. It’s been a pleasure coaching this team and I am beyond proud of every guy that wears a Hornet jersey. I love each and every one of you and your school and community does too.

Thank you to our seniors. John, Parker, Silas and Kolt you have no idea the impact you’ve had on our program and on me. It’s an honor to have coached you all. We couldn’t have played tougher and in the end they just made shots late and we didn’t. Proud of all 15 of you!
