I want to take a moment to publicly recognize these 15 young men for their incredible work ethic and dedication.
Since middle school basketball ended, they have worked tirelessly to prepare for the next level. Pushing through track and baseball seasons, they committed to twice-weekly workouts focused heavily on the fundamentals—off-hand ball handling, pick-and-roll ex*****on, and core shooting mechanics. They skipped the flashy stuff and brought a true "blue-collar" mentality to every single session.
They were tested continuously against tough competition, playing 6 games against their age group and 12 against older players or adults. That included 5 battles against Marshall, a top tier team in the state, where our guys went toe-to-toe with them and even snuck in a few WS here and there.
Through hardcore cardio, intense coaching, and zero shortcuts, we had zero quitters. They’ve transformed into a formidable basketball squad, but more importantly, they’ve grown into better teammates and leaders for our community.
I couldn't be prouder of their dedication to PHS basketball!
