I am really proud of the group that I coached tonight. It was unfortunate that we were not at full strength because of Spring Break. My kids learned a lesson that sometimes the right decision isn’t always as fun. They made a commitment to the team and honored it.
#commitment
Parents: Just because your son/daughter isn’t playing doesn’t mean the coach doesn’t like them. The coach actually invests a lot of time in them, including the team. They love them and want them to succeed. Coaches are concerned about the whole program, team and then the player.
In 2019 Chris Beard’s Texas Tech Red Raiders won the Big 12, went to the National Final and won AP COY. He will be speaking at

Virtual Clinic October 10-11. Not many GUARD like the Red Raiders!
I had four girls get excepted to UofM yesterday. That’s damn near half of my team. It didn’t even matter what practice was like... BTW it was a good one.
We are so proud of Alexa Downey! She had an unbelievable 4 year career. She holds South records for Career Ave.(24.2), 1269(3rd) Points, Points in a Game(40), 3s in a Game(9), 3s in Season(74), 3s in a Career(206)

Shawn Sharrow is a great coach and is not about what you are reporting. You have reported a lot of outlandish stories in the past. The TH has had some great reporters in the past and the would be disappointed w/ some of your stories. Stop looking for shock value.
Sad day in Romeo Community Schools as we lost a student too young. Gavin Miller was a fun, athletic and comes from a great family. Thoughts and prayers goes out to the Miller Family and RCS.
Today is a sad drive to Powell. It will be my last day there. I had so much fun teaching Health, PE and Healthy Living. The students, staff and admin were so special. I’m lucky to have been part of a special building for 13 years. I am looking forward to my new position
Congrats to

on earning First Team MAC RED and also breaking the single season steals record from Molly McKenzie 111(1994) with 138 and counting. Maddy is averaging a combined deflection/ steals an astonishing 13.1 per game.

This season was stressful, unpredictable and had many different emotions. However, it was worth it to get it in for our student athletes. Thank you to the
@MHSAA
@BCAMCoaches
and everyone that help make the season possible.
The MHSAA decision is not what anyone would have wanted or hoped for but 1. We need to hope that we can in the gym on 16th and 2. Make what we do get a memorable experience for our players.

My daughter was 3 when some of the girls started playing for me. Now she is a freshman playing for me. time flies.Lucky to coach/coached such a great group of girls in a close community.

We got a piece of the MAC RED title tonight.
@SOUTHBLUEDEVILS
8th league title and 8th in 13 years. 2 Blue, 2 White, 4 Red. I’m proud of our effort. Don’t have much left in the tank but it was a gritty effort.
In Milwaukee watching girls AAU. The best teams I’ve seen so far share the ball and are excellent passers. Making the extra pass is such a powerful tool.
Parents: I see many posting videos of son/daughter with trainers shooting step backs, euro steps and using every combo dribble under the son and they can not even do a one foot Mikan! Make sure you can crawl before walk and run.

Ben was a great help defender. Many of his blocks came from leaving his defender. Rodman guarded Pippen, Malone, Bird, Magic. but have to respect to effort that both played with.
I’m looking at this as a chance for my kids to get better. AAU tournaments canceled already. No practices scheduled as of yet. My oldest went to gym with me at 6am, I came home and there were 7 bikes in the yard and everyone was playing on our court in backyard.
Finished the weekend with a W for 22’ Storm. The girls shared the ball and we shot it well, including my girl
@kamrynscott32
she had 3s, she was fouled on two of them for a 4 point play and 4/4 from FT line for a total of 18.
In 2012 I had a player that I felt should’ve been up for Ms. Basketball. She did not make the ballot. I told her let’s go win it. She led us to a State Final and we lost in OT. I will never forget her will.
Shout out to our friends

I had to show Kart where my coaching career began in 1999 at Coleman High School, coaching JV Boys/Varsity girls. I thought I knew it all at 21 and knew so little.

As a coach you ask your players to play their best at the end of the year. We did that tonight despite the 60-53 loss to Cass Tech. We were prepared and competed as hard as ever. Lots to look forward to with a whole roster returning.
Finally put together a full 32. I’ve had seen improvements the past few weeks and the girls deserve the road W. South 42 PHN 38
Kamryn Richards 26, including 4 FT to take lead and ice the game.

Had a hour zoom call Q and A interview tonight on Culture and Team Building with Billy Donovan. Im not going to lie... it was pretty sweet. Looking forward to see how it turns out.
Kamryn Richards 20 points, 5 steals, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 32 minutes

Great team defensive forcing 28 turnovers. Not out of the woods yet! 1.5 games to play in MAC RED!

@SOUTHBLUEDEVILS
The MAC RED champs had a great weekend. Alexa Downey, Kamryn Richards and Sarah Rogers earned FIRST TEAM MAC RED. Cameron Lundh, Keely Conlan and Patton Roy earned HM.
The past two seasons my team has made 373 threes. The shot has won us games and beaten teams that have been better. It has created tempo and has been a lot of fun!
Don’t think We’ve ever had a win like tonight. Down 18 at PHN and then go up 17 4th. 35 point swing! 7 3s in 3rd and 4th and 10 overall 👌🏼

Congrats to

for tying former All State guard Alexa Downey(2021)single season scoring record at Grosse Pointe South with 440. There is a reason why they called her Maddy Buckets since she was little.

I don’t know if anyone is enjoying the district championship more than Koop. He is a great basketball mind at such a young age. The amount of time as pride he puts in program is amazing. I’m so proud of him!
Grosse Pointe South 68- Dakota 52
Alexa Downey 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 steals
Kamryn Richards 14 points, 6 assists
Keely Conlan 14 points, 3 steals
Sarah Rogers 9 points
15-4 with DCD at HOME on Thursday for senior night
In the the 14 games since her backcourt mate went down with a season ending injury, Alexa Downey has had 7 30+ point games and could’ve had more if it wasn’t for lopsided scores.
