We are building something BIG at Newman. This is an amazing opportunity for athletes, coaches, and families.
NEWMAN SETS THE STANDARD
Added another job last week and it’s my favorite: DAD! Welcome to the world Palmer Hayes Campbell! Outside of the dog thinking about entering the transfer portal, everyone is doing well!
One of my favorite days of the year! Welcome to the 22-23 HS Basketball season. Grateful to be back in Florida and leading the Newman program here in South Florida.
Can’t wait for 55+ practices, 27 games, 4 trips, and countless XL Dunkin coffees - black with sugar please.
Congrats to the FACA District 20 Coaches / Players of the Year for Palm Beach County and E. Hendry!
All of these awards were nominated and voted by coaches. A screenshot of the award / recommendations are below.
Looking forward to even more coaches in Dis20-FACA next year.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Excited to tip the REG season tomorrow at 2 and then we have the Regional Finals for our football program. Will be a GREAT DAY.
Thankful to lead the Newman Athletic Dept / Boys Basketball program and to have a front row seat to the Football dominance.
Bittersweet news but excited for my family, to head to a GREAT school in Atlanta and start a new journey.
Newman was great in many ways and leading this basketball program was the best! In 2 years we got back to where the program deserves to be! Also excited for

Jermaine Council ‘24: strong/physical guard, can score at all 3 levels, defends 1-5 when asked, stepped right in as one of our leaders on the floor. Averaging 21ppg this season so far.
He is available and I will bet the farm that he will help you! He is READY.
Great win tonight against previously undefeated Holy Cross, out of Louisiana, 67-56.
Omar Mendez: 17pts, 10+ Reba.
Derek Lomicky: 15 pts.

Thanks to

Listening to

Great “quote” by the Pahokee HC but unfortunately just not how a schedule works. For the record, I’ll take us in Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. They can even bring the soccer players, but I still got the gold and blue 😂
We were on the track after school yesterday. In the weight room this morning. Nothing like having a bunch of guys eager to work! We may be full of new faces, but they are workers

One of the more bittersweet days in my professional career as I officially hang up the whistle so I can focus on my new role completely as Director of…
No better feeling in the world when former players come around, get workouts in still, chat about life, etc.
These 3 guys were some of the hardest working, most dedicated, and honest dudes I’ve ever coached! And 2 of them are still working on playing the game professionally!
First varsity win in program history tonight over Brandon Hall! Wil Garrison with 6 3’s tonight and a host of other guys with 6-10 pts. Proud of their effort, but ton of work left to do!

Basketball can take you all over the world - from FSU to North Carolina to Florida to Georgia with a few global coaching trips mixed in. Excited to keep coaching, leading, and competing against anyone, anywhere, and making a big impact 👀
Throughout today, I’ll be sharing notes I took as I was trying to gather as much information as I could from everyone! We talked: practice planning, off and def philosophy, how to keep stars accountable and end of bench engaged, improving as a coach, etc
#CoachesRoundtable
Jermaine is a dawg! Over the last 5 games leading into the playoffs, he has been playing BIG TIME BALL, in addition to our other guys. He is still considering all options next year.
Our Varsity Boys 🏀 team is still playing but some nice recognition is starting to roll in!
Congrats to Jermaine Council for being recognized as the FACA District 20-3A Player of the Year!
Congrats to Coach Campbell for being recognized as the District 20-3A Coach of the Year!
Our thoughts and prayers for our friends over at

. Losing a coach is unspeakable, especially seeing all of the great stories and memories about Coach Hill. The lessons a coach teaches will live on forever.

Great Coaches meetings today and excited for tomorrow’s Program Directors meeting with

Varsity Head Coaches. The process begins now and with the great coaches we already have, we are ready for success. Our athletes deserve the best!
#EaglesUp
Building a program is the HARDEST thing I’ll ever do in the game of basketball but tonight’s film session/practice was one I’ll remember for a long time!
#GritBall
was introduced and these guys answered the call!
Coaching reminder that has been a focus of mine this Fall:
CATCH THEM DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!
With a new team, building genuine relationships is most important. These relationships can be so focused on details/getting things perfect that we forget to celebrate the daily wins!
Jermaine’s first game with us and he adds 22pts, clutch shots, defense, and a first half that included some great assists.
So proud of Alex as well! Has worked so hard this off-season and it is starting to show!

Won our final regular season game against a tough Oak Mountain Academy team in OT. End the year at 14-8, 8-6 in our region. Not too bad for our 1st varsity boys basketball season. Now comes the region tournament! Need to be playing our best basketball!

Team Camp:
Varsity: Friday at 12pm/4pm; Sat at 10am/8pm
JV: Friday at 1pm/3pm; Sat at 9am/4pm
Team 1 is gonna look a whole lot different than Team 0!
@PBCBBallForum
Love having my varsity guys helping with camp as “Coach Counselors”. Some of them struggle with it but others embrace the leadership aspect of it, like my guy Mykhai Mitchell, 10th grade.He has had a great week of lifting, workouts, practices, and helping with camp!
@NDAcademyGA
Got to spend some time with
@r81dugans
! The WR room at FSU is being led by a good dude and great coach. Great to have you at Newman today, Coach Dugans.
WE NEEDED THIS ONE!
Varsity moves to 19-5 on the year after a nice 66-61 win over a good Saint Andrews.
Leading Scorers:
Jermaine Council, 17
Max Redmon, 13
Alex Grande, 12
Joe Duran, 10
JV also with a nice W! Moves to 17-1 on the year!
One of the best quotes I’ve seen in a long time from
@LeeMillerElite
and I’m throwing it out there in all caps:
DO MORE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FORGET TO CHECK YOUR PHONE
GAMEDAY is finally here! We get to lace ‘em up in a scrimmage game at Atlanta International tonight. Excited to use this as a tool for preparation for our first regular season game on Thursday!
@TheIrishWave
@NDAcademyGA
Another long road trip and we were lucky enough to get the W. Didn’t play particularly well but got stops and scores when we needed too! Move to 13-7 on the year and 7-5 in region play. Two more games left and then Tourney Time!
@TheIrishWave
@NDAcademyGA
Lost 56-53 tonight to Westminster Christian. WC played tough on the defensive end all night long - good stuff from Coach Brown and their team.
We were led by 14 from Jr Joe Duran and 13 from Soph Izzy Joseph.
Next game is after the Thanksgiving break.

The team leans on one of their all-time greats,

2. Not one mention of any

and all I can say is…..GAME ON. We will be ready.
Check out my senior season highlights! I had a great journey this year and I’m looking forward to the next chapter💙💛
@CoachRCampbell
@CNHS_BoysHoops
1st part:
Asked my players to come up with (at least) 3 core values for their life (on and off the 🏀 court) and they will share with everyone tomorrow. Excited to see what they share!The program core values are:
T-trust
O-opportunity
U-understanding
G-grit
H-honesty
Lucky enough to get another W tonight in the finals of our Christmas tourney. Gave up 63 points, which is way too many at our level! Proud of the way we executed down the stretch. Sitting at 6-4 with the second half ahead!
Sometimes you play ugly and win but the lessons are there for the taking! Got very lucky to get a win tonight against a well-coached and prepared Lagrange Academy team! Back to practice in the AM!
#gritball
If there’s one thing these last 45 games or so I have coached tell me, it is a ME BEFORE WE mentality will sink the ship but a PLAY HARD, PLAY SMART, PLAY TOGETHER team, no matter the talent is HARD TO BEAT EVERY NIGHT!
