It is such a joy to see where God takes our athletes in life after we have had the privilege of coaching them.
Frankie has spent hours and hours and hours training in our gym. In addition to faithfully practicing with the Belvidere North High School cheer squad every Tuesday night, I have lost count of the texts...
Coach Max, can my flyer and I come by and practice some in the corner?
Coach Max, I know it's a blizzard outside, but I wanted see if a small group of us could ...
Coach Max I know you're closed for Christmas, but do you think a few of us might could...
Coach Max, I know you're in recovery from open heart surgery, but I was thinking I could swing by the hospital and maybe get the key and (just kidding!)...
As much as I possibly could, I always said yes.
His presence is always an encouragement to so many others. The young man just has a way of empowering those around him to be their best and to truly enjoy the moment.
We have seen him as a cheerleader become a sectional champion, state champion, and even a WORLD champion!
And now... The icing on the cake is to see him sign on with University of Kentucky, a D-1 one school (in the SEC I might add).
Frankie, we are super proud of you, and you will always have a home here at North!
