Welcome to the world Grayson Thomas! 💙
Grayson came into the world on April 9 as an Easter baby at 2:40 AM. He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 19.25 inches long. We forgot what life was like without him. He is everything we prayed for and more!

@GbbBattle
I got emotional afterwards today talking in our locker room about our seniors and staff! Everyone gives so much to our program. Blessed to be surrounded by amazing people!
I heard a D1 recruiter say they don’t recruit JUCO because they don’t have the IQ to run their offense. Some of the best players/IQ players I’ve been a round came from JUCO. If they can hoop, they can hoop! Maybe the offense needs to be taught better.
My nephew has attended our last two games. He turned 6 years old today. I told him if we won he could come in the locker room postgame. He ran across the court after the game to meet me! He got a hoop for Christmas and is getting in basketball!!
Love the support from my wife
@DrKyraYung
and father-in-law Dave “aka Mr. Dave” to our girls. My wife 6 months pregnant travels to almost all away games and Mr. Dave travels an hr just to meet my wife for a ride to the games.

Had the opportunity to play 2 games with a 30 sec shot clock at the Midwest Showcase. Had 1 shot clock violation due to deflection out of bounds and forgot about the clock. Won a game off change of pace press that killed the clock.
LETS GET THE SHOT CLOCK PASSED!!!

Always find ways to live in the moment even if it means showing off your horrible dance moves. Something I definitely would not have done when I just got into coaching. Love creating memories with

Gotta give my assistant

a huge shoutout. She’s one heck of a Geometry teacher. A few weeks ago was tasked with taking over Algebra 1 courses for a teacher that left. New classes, new students and is killing it! Give her some love.

Wishing a Happy 30th Birthday to my amazing wife
@MrsKyraYung
Your passion, kind heart, and humbleness motivate me every day. 20s: we got married, lived apart, lived in another state, bought our first home, & became an aunt & uncle! Let’s see what our 30s have in store for us.
Physicals are complete! Grayson got to spend the evening with his favorite team and eat supper in the cafeteria!
We are ready to get things started
@cmueaglesWBB
Momma has parent-teacher conferences so little man Grayson gets to hangout at practice. He isn’t spoiled at all. Practice 3 out of 8 for him.

Yung Berto. On Friday he came into the locker room with a pass with that written on it. Said it was going to be his rapper name. Unbelievable kid gone to soon.
We have had several games come down to a few possessions that ended in our favor, but this one didn’t end the way we wanted. It hurts, but we regroup, learn, and move forward!

8 Years!! Happy Anniversary
@DrKyraYung
These 8 years have been the fastest but best years of my life. Thank you for pushing me everyday and being the best wife and mother to Grayson.
Being down 25, shooting % in the teens, it’s easy to not celebrate for your team. Love our team. Celebrate all plays, no matter what the score is or outcome.
