Best part of coaching is when you go recruiting in a neighborhood and know that basketball will pay for their way out and create an opportunity to help their families and grow as a person. Basketball creates an escape that no one can take away! Recruiting is my favorite!
I had to wait to sign contract & most know, but I’ve taken the head assistant position at South Plains in Texas! Blessed with a raise and opportunity to learn and work under Coach Ara. I’m thankful for my time in Kansas. Blessed to move forward and get ready to make a run! 💙🧡
Signed my contract today! Excited to be back at South Plains! Schedule finished today as well! Now to finish up recruiting! Thanks to our administration and my boss! They are the best! Blessed and thankful! West Texas! 💙🧡
It is with sadness, but excitement to announce that I have accepted the associate head coach position at Seward College in Kansas. Chipola will always be my Alma mater and home. 6 great years of winning! I can’t thank Coach G enough! New Chapter! Time to get to work!

Welcome to the Chipola Nation
@r_johnson8588
Transfer that averaged 18ppg and had many big games against national tournament, top 25 teams! Another great sign for the Chipola Nation! 🎟🎟🎟
Chipola isn’t for everyone. You gotta sacrifice and be able to be coached hard and work through a chewing. We prepare our players for not only the D1/Pro level, but in life when nothing is easy or given to you! It’s what you need to hear not want. Toughness!
This lady here has been coming to Saints games for decades! She doesn’t miss a game! I’m not sure on her exact age, but she’s a sweetheart! Truly loves basketball and Seward!💚
Congrats to Dekeriya Patterson on her commitment to WV! That’s two Chipola Indians headed to Morgantown! They are getting two great players and even better people! Love ya Dee! Proud Coach! Country Roads!
I’ve been coaching college basketball for 16 years now! What a ride it is! All the trips, recruiting visits, the games. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! Blessed and thankful! I’ve never worked a day in my life. I love what I do!
Congrats to Val on her commitment to Ole Miss! Another guard for us headed to the SEC! Great players make great coaches! Fortunate to have her! Now let’s continue to get better and work towards our season! Looking forward to it! Proud Coach! The Chipola Nation!
@YolettMcCuin
The worst term in basketball these days is “two way player” that’s called a basketball player! If you don’t guard, you won’t play, period. Take pride in getting stops. Some nights shots won’t fall, but you can always defend!
It’s never easy to tell players bye, but this was a tough! I coached her for three years and even though the season didn’t go as planned, I wouldn’t trade it for anything! We have been through a lot. From winning a championship and getting on each others nerves, love you! Fowles!
Congrats to our squad! They are not only great women and hoopers, but smart as well! A joy to coach! I hope they enjoy time with their families during the break! 💚
Welcome to south plains! Shcira Fowles! 6’1 Point forward from Chipola. Was rated the
#1
rated player in the country! She will do great things! Blessed!
When you score 18 as a freshmen in your first conference game on the road, you get to talk about it.
@NaomiAragonez
and shoutout to my son
@halima_salat
for scoring her career high tonight! She decent! Proud coach! 💚💚💚💚
Down 18lbs! Back to my old me! Long hard road, but feeling like I’m 21 again. As a 22 year old! All it takes is a move to change your life! After covid and losing my brother, it’s been rough, but times don’t last, tough people do! Blessed and thankful!
To my mentor
@FranklingGreg
I can’t express what you mean to me. Not just in my coaching career, but in life! Everyone trying to understand it has never been in that Fox hole! They will never know! Love you! The stories we could tell! National titles don’t grow on trees!
Beat a good top 25 team at home tonight! Very well coached team! 76-75. What a great atmosphere at the green house! Down 21 and came back and won at the horn! Greenhouse madness! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
to assistant coaches! It means nothing what you know about basketball. It’s not what you can promise, it’s what you can produce. Be loyal and make the head coach look good, that’s it! You make suggestions, they make decisions. Alot different when you move one seat over. Recruit!
Well our sophomores are signed! They were a joy to coach! This is why we do it! They won us a championship, a final 4 and a bond for the rest of our lives! Love each and everyone of them! Great players and even better ladies! Straight class! The Chipola Nation!
Highlighting a few Juco Coaches that Division 1 AD’s should hire immediately!

Moved players on to the Pros
Spent 7 years in the toughest league in the country at Chipola. Truly amazing basketball. National titles listed, all from the same conference! Blessed and thankful! A lot of battles!
Elite 8! With a starter out, others stepped up! A buzzer beater to win it by our freshman Sheimi Muhammad! On to the next! The Chipola Nation! Survive and advance!
Been busy settling in, but want to give a shout to my guy
@FranklingGreg
on his new job! I’m glad I left the jayhawk! Always thankful of the years we had together! Winning years! Champs, final 4s, elite 8s! We rocked it out everywhere! Mostly under the carport 😂😂😂 love you!
Back to Kansas! Great to get three games in and get reps! Now to Lawrence Kansas next weekend for our last jamboree before season! A lot of good things today and a lot to work on, but that’s always. Good to see a lot of good coaching friends as well! 💚🍀🏀
Welcome to the Chipola Nation! Dekeriya Patterson! D1 transfer from LSU! We are finishing up a very special class to go with very special returners! Hard work pays off! Blessed to coach at the best school in the country!

vs

! Winner to take the
#1
spot in the country! It’s early and it only matters down the road, but it’s nice to be involved. The Chipola Nation!
shared a room with my bro for 13 years and used to hear him cry himself to sleep from the pain. I can still hear it. He’s no longer suffering and is whole. I’m phased by nothing because I was raised with a firm belt and understanding to not feel sorry for myself. Unbothered.
Another great day at the best college in the country! The Chipola Nation! My boss told me to fill this box when I took the job and I’m not leaving until I do what the boss said. Should’ve had that chance this year, but we move forward!
Happy birthday to my former boss and one of my best friends. I’m very thankful for all you’ve done for me. People will never know what it’s like being in that foxhole! Outside people will never understand. Love you and miss you! I will see you Christmas! Enjoy!
@FranklingGreg
We have a player that wasn’t able to go home originally and now is able to, is getting to meet her grandmother for the first time in her life! Basketball opens doors for many that won’t understand! So happy for her! Enjoy your family during the holidays!
Welcome to Seward County! Chisom Oguego! 6’3 wing from 🇳🇬! Great addition to an already great recruiting class. More to come! A lot of length and athleticism coming to the Jayhawk! 💚💚💚💚💚
@ToddCiochetto
After a long journey! Our newest Chipola Indian has arrived! She is most appreciative and thankful for her opportunity. When basketball is your identity, life and to many escape, the game comes easily. Blessed and thankful! The Nation!
Welcome to Seward! Rose Marie Priscilla! 6’4 point forward! What a great addition to the family! With the returners and the class coming in. Let’s tip it off! Work in the dark, show off in the light! 💚🔥
Great win against
#1
We’ve been through a lot last month and feel like we are back on track. They are a great team with great coaches. That’s our league! Good to have a top recruit here to watch and see what it’s about! Now to pick up our D1 transfer tomorrow and keep it rolling
Tough OT loss to end our season, but was the most necessary season I’ve ever had. Losing my brother and staying afloat, thankful for
@ToddCiochetto
and the season we had. Losing a brother is never easy but he eased the pain. So thankful. The ball stops bouncing, but life goes on.
Pops is private on these things, but he’s in the hospital after falling out at home and is getting tested. won’t go in depth on it as my sister can being a nurse. blessed that he is recovering. Thanks all that has reached out. Tougher than a $2 steak! Blessed to call you Dad.
First heavenly birthday for my brother. Hasn’t been long at all since you left this earth. I know you’ll be watching my game today and flipping back and forth to the Army vs Navy game! Love you! My Why! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Welcome to South Plains
@HaleyLang23

Blessed and thankful to work at a great program and a part of this wonderful community! Seward CC is a special place that so many have put in to make it go! Great place to be! 💚💚
