So happy for Kell! He has worked so hard! He kept improving! Dension did an excellent job recruiting him!! They were at every home & away game!! They value the true definition of a high character young man with excellent grades in a rigorous curriculum at Shaker HS! Salute Kell!
God won’t promote you if you’re revengeful. Show mercy when someone doesn’t deserve it. Sowing a seed of kindness even when someone doesn’t deserve it shows God he can trust you. Power of favor. Smile for God. Let God rise you higher! All things work for the good who trust him!

@BaylorMBB
A coach won’t get a player a scholarship, but if your program has established itself and has produced quality student-athletes; the coach can make the connections with the colleges/universities to see if it’s a great fit for the student-athlete and the institution.
