Congratulations to
@HopewellHS_MBB
very own
@QuayWatson1
on winning the Queen City Athletic Conference's PLAYER OF THE YEAR. Considered my many, the toughest Conference in the State. Quay is also 6 points away from being Hopewell HS ALL TIME LEADING SCORER!!! Well deserved kid!
3.4 overall GPA, no discipline issues, made Conference Championship game, 8 seniors graduating and accepted to colleges, and hopefully a playoff appeaeance/run ahead. Regardless of what happens next, that's what success looks like to me.

Want to thank Coach Kerns,
@Raheem14DC
and the entire Appalachian State University staff for hosting us today. Got a chance to learn more about the program and met some great people along the way. Look forward to getting back on campus soon.

#TakeTheStairs
Words can't express how proud I am of this kid. He deserves this and everything that is coming his way. UNCP did the work and I truly believe they will take care of my guy. They got a special one.
@QuayWatson1
Let me take a moment to congratulate our very own Quay Watson on scoring his 1000th HS career point last night. I'll say it again, the kid absolutely special! Couldn't be more proud to be called his coach.
@QuayWatson1
Want to say congratulations to our very own
@QuayWatson1
for being selected to QCAC All Conference Team. This kid made a HUGE jump in year 2 and people are beginning to notice. The future is certainly bright down Beatties Ford Rd!! Make some noise for our guy!!!
#Year3Loading
Want to send a huge thanks to
@Coach_Rick57
for coming to speak at our team banquet! Our original speaker had a flight canceled and I called coach yesterday and he didn't hesitate to come through for me on short notice. Its good to know great people! Thank you!
@HopewellHS_MBB
Friday night was special. Something alot of ppl will remember for a long time. Proud that you trusted me to be your coach along this journey. Congratulations boy. Love you til the wheels fall off.
@QuayWatson1
Hopewell’s Quay Watson set his school’s all time scoring record Friday…in the first game of his senior year. Like LeBron in the NBA, Watson is going to put that thing out of reach
It is truly a pleasure to announce my PG as 1st Team All I - Meck! Came in Day 1 and helped change the culture at Hopewell. A true leader in every sense. Can't wait to see what the future holds for 5. Congrats my boy!! P.S. Coaches DM for film!!
@JordanMcphatter
Been one heck of a week for our program. Just want to take a second to thank everyone for the support. Unfortunately, we couldn't bring the ship back to The Well. Our students, parents, administration, and fans are some real ones and I promise we're just getting started.
#TitanUp
The joy on the faces of my guys, the fans, admin, and students is my favorite part of that moment. Let's do it again tomorrow!!! Show up and show out tomorrow Titan nation!!!
Championship Friday 730p @ Mallard Creek.
Being a Head Coach means answering weird numbers and area codes because it may be a coach, but Marriott Rewards has one more time to interrupt my day before I lose it!
This loss will sting for a while because I know we let one slip away. Couldn't be more proud of group who made it this far without 2 starters and the entire season without our senior leader. Think we put the State on notice though.

Good team win tonight vs Olympic HS, making it 4 out the last 5. Sophomore
@QuayWatson1

@travh4_

#TitanUp
21' G Thomas Jackson went out with a BANG!! Led the way with 21pts on Senior night to beat West Charlotte HS! Nice cap to a great 4yr run. Thank you Thomas for your contribution and effort. Gonna miss you big dawg.
Lehigh is the latest school to reach out to 2022 6'3 Guard Antonio Perkins

#BeDifferent
They really stopped a whole basketball game to try and make 100 seated students move where there was already 100 people sitting...in a packed gym! Because one man didn't like them behind their bench. I can't make this up man.
Back in the win column. The fight we showed tonight was amazing. Slowly learning how to win/finish. Love watching these young guys grow up.
Hopewell 67
Porter Ridge 63
Will Harvey led all scorers with 20 points.
Helluva homecoming tonight.
@HopewellHS_MBB
lost to West Charlotte 55-52. Hard fought game by my guys. Left a couple plays on the table and still had a shot to win it at the buzzer. Future is super bright!!!
#TitanUp
As the All conference lists come out I just wanted to take this time to mention C/O 2022 Guard Antonio Perkins (
@awitdabuckket
). Made All Conference as a Soph and numbers only got better this season. I know I'm a little biased but numbers don't lie. Politics aside, he's All Conf!
One thing I'll never be is a hater and I have to give credit where its due,
@langstonwertzjr
@charlottepreps
no way Central Cabarrus isn't a Top 16 team area.
5 seniors...1 has football Scholarship, 1 has academic scholarship,1 has been accepted to multiple schools. WHEN not if the 2 that want to play college ball get theirs', my first season will be the ultimate success.....they are STEALS at this point btw.

What a weekend man. Didn't start out the way we wanted but no excuses. We faced A LOT of adversity and bounced back to go 2-2 in NIKE EYBL Session II to qualify for Peach Jam.
@teamunitedhoops
15u now stands at 6 - 2 in EYBL. We needed that. Proud of my guys.
I received a text today saying " You have a hater over at my school"...
I replied..."Only one?".....I cant wait to get in the gym man.

Team Charlotte wing Kahari Rogers impressed me enough over the weekend to garner All-Gibbons team for 17U. Motor, rebounded, made some tough shots. Best basketball is ahead of him.

#Cantwait
@QuayWatson1
is one the best guards in the state easily, but now he is becoming the leader I knew he could be. This team has a chance to be special. I'll revisit this tweet in February/March.
Coach Antonio Perkins will return to "The Well" as Varsity Men's Assistant Basketball Coach. His knowledge for the game along with his ability to communicate, motivate, and build relationships made him a perfect for our program.

When watching film I find myself rewinding it to see how players react when a teammate does something good. I must say...my guys truly LOVE each other. Even got 2 techs for saying "And 1" when they weren't even the ones scoring lol
JV Holiday Tournament. Let's get the future of our programs some work in over the break. Contact me today to lock in your spot!!!

Class of 2025 (Team United EYBL) 6’7 Sadiq White will be LIVE in action at the Elite 60 National Camp. He holds offers from Georgia, Texas A&M, South Florida and more.
Dropped one to a good North Meck team tonight. Game was ALOT closer than the score will show. Much respect to N. Neck, they are the barometer of consistency you want in a program. Another day to get better tomorrow.
If the practice after a L is any indication to what type of team you have, then let's just say we are going to be just fine. Great work today!!! Feeling motivated.

Young team grew up a little tonight. Literally took every player on the team to get the W.

If its one thing I've learned its that Peach Jam is TOTALLY different from any one of those sessions. Your record before this week doesn't matter one bit.
'23 6'5 Lance Gill is getting it started early in the 2nd Half. Knocking down two 3's in consecutive possessions. Will be an early contributor for WSSU next season.
