To the Harrison Co. community, my family and friends
This is to inform you that I have officially resigned as the head boys basketball coach at Harrison Co. High School. I have reached a point in my life where I feel that I need to step away and spend more time with my family. My family and friends have supported me for 30 plus years of coaching, and God has blessed me with some great opportunities over the years. I have been blessed to coach some very special and talented young people. I love all of the players that I have coached, and I will always cherish the relationships that we have developed over the years.
Through my coaching, I have tried to teach the game of life through basketball with passion, enthusiasm, and tough love.
I’m forever grateful for all of my assistant coaches that have worked with me (not for me) to develop young men and young women into model citizens. I’m looking forward to whatever God has for me as the next chapter of my life.
Thanks again and Forever Grateful!!
