Happy New Year! Players be focused on Grades, as much as Development. Coaches Develop and be a Role Model to the team. Parents Support and Hold your student Accountable. Those of us who cover and recruit, be Honest, Thorough and Ethical in our work. Ready for more hoops💯
An update on Cols South Coach Ramon Spears...his heart responded well to the cardio procedure that was done this morning. He is Going Home and is expected to be back to work on Monday.
Dang! Less than 15 days into January and Columbus has already had 7 homicides. SMH! Parents and respected mentors need to show these individuals a different way, starting with Jesus Christ and a good church family to be apart of. I can certainly recommend some good churches.
I want to give a shout out for
@TWHSBasketball
Taylor Morgan, for his play in tonight’s game against Wadsworth. Taylor played a Big role in TW’s comeback with his Second Half defense on Solomon Callaghan, holding him to 5 Points, after Callaghan had scored 24 First Half points!

Tonight was the last time I will likely get to see many of the C-bus area '19 players play, in HS. This has been a fun to watch, with some of my favorite players, in the last 10 yrs. You guys did well. Teams achieved huge success with you. Plenty should be on a college roster.
Unfortunately the remaining OHSAA Winter Sports Tournaments have been Canceled. Not the way any of us thought, nor wanted, the Class of 2020 would have to have their HS career(s) end.
