    I am excited to work with other coaches and provide another year of June 3 on 3 basketball! I can’t believe it is our 9th year. Please let me know if you are interested in entering a team! We will take middle school, high school and college teams!

    Today - our Loudonville HS girls finished their regular season at 21-0! This is our first undefeated season since 1976 - 45 years! I am so grateful that God blessed me with this group of players, coaches and their families! In these crazy times - they persevered and made history!

    Speaking of apologizing. Did Kerr ever make his guy apologize for this?

    My grandpa has been fighting Guillain-Barre since early September. He has been in the hospital for nearly 6 months. Tonight was the first time he left the hospital since he entered it. For him to be able to come to our game is just a miracle to me. Praise God! Thank you God!

    The safest time for HS/College teams to have a winter sports season is during a school shutdown or remote learning setup from Thanksgiving until 1/11. Play as many games as possible during this time - don't wait until January and throw everyone back in contact with each other.

    Finally got my main @cavs wall done with signed jerseys + the autographed photos and @KingJames and Terrell Brandon @SInow covers. Also put the newspapers from the 2016 championship up there! Thanks to my dad for the help and my wife for letting me have all of this stuff!

    Summer basketball tells you so much about your team. As a coach - you can see who really wants to win, who wants a bigger role, who is listening to what you told them in exit meetings. As a player - you find out who you can count on, who wants to be a part of something bigger.

    Praise the lord for our team! Today we won Loudonville’s first district title since 1992. I appreciate our players, coaches, their families and all of Redbird Nation. I also can’t help but think of our past players and coaches who helped build this program. Go Birds! 25-0.

    Most HS basketball coaches never get to coach a 1000 point scorer. Words can’t describe how blessed I am to have 3 girls reach that mark in the same season. It speaks to their work ethic and unselfish approach to the game! Celeste, Emily and Nikki are a special trio!

    Since she has no Twitter - I am proud to say that Nikki Weber will continue her basketball career at Malone U! Nikki was a 2x All-Ohioan at LHS. She missed her JR year and still finished with 1296 points, 433 rebounds, 372 assists and 389 steals! She is also class valedictorian!
