Want to send out a special congrats to Coach Holman - one of the best coaches around, a LONG time friend, as well as a Bantam alumni! Winning 300 games is a big time accomplishment that takes years of dedication, sacrafice and ‘know how’ - Congrats Jim, here’s to the next 300!😂

We recently had our end of season banquet and it was an amazing night of gifts, food, celebrations, stories, and certainly a few tears. As we do every year, we celebrate our seniors and have each of them give a speech about thier experiences in the program. The speeches this year were so heartfelt, funny and emotional - such a special year, reminded us of what its all about! It made me so proud of my players and staff - validates that our program values and our relationally driven approach have impact far beyond the court! Shoutout to our seniors and their parents: Jason, Cole, Dray, Avery, Alex and Lee - we’ll miss you dearly!

Heartbroken. Reece was not only one of my dear coaching friends, he was one of the best high school coaches anywhere. Who he was on the sideline is who he was off the court - smart, competitive, engaging, and compassionate. A true leader and the ultimate example. Our heart goes out to his wife and kids, along with the entire Colfax community. RIP Reece - I’ll miss you.

Rest In Peace: KREM 2 News sports director Andrew Quinn reports that Reece Jenkin, the Colfax men's basketball coach battling pancreatic cancer, has died.

Last night we ran into a hot-shooting Pullman team that brought our season to a close. While the game was not what we expected, this season is much bigger than one game.

This team has intentionally spent a lot of time together since last June. And while we’ve had so much fun, we certainly battled adversity this season, including a rollercoaster of outcomes (lost 6 league games by a combined 15 points)—adversity that could have broken our spirit. Instead, these kids showed up everyday with hard work, confidence, grit, and a little humor - refusing to let this adversity define us. They believed in the process, invested deeply in their teammates, and proved to themselves that they can do hard things to overcome!

I’m hopeful that what they've learned goes far beyond basketball. They've experienced overcoming adversity, building lifelong relationships, and working for something bigger than themselves - what I believe are foundations for success in the real world.

I've been in 15 end-of-season locker rooms (from State championships to early playoff losses), and believe it or not, they all feel about the same - and last night was no different. The tears and sadness aren't about basketball being over—they're about the daily shared experiences that made up our journey. This means these players invested, cared, and were all in. And those are exactly the right emotions to feel.

I want to thank my players, parents, coaches (and our families), school staff, and community - you make this journey possible!

The season may be over, but what our players learned and who they became will stay with them (and me) forever!
