- Rest In Peace to Ethan Blecke, he was an extremely kind and great kid to be around and I’m glad I got the chance to meet him. Prayers to the Blecke family and all of Jerome to get through this tragedy 🙏🏼❤️
- Tonight was the greatest game I’ve ever been a part of as a player or a coach. I am so unbelievably proud of this group of guys to buy in to the culture we are building here and battle through adversity to get a HUGE win against Gahanna in 2OT. This puts us at 3-0 in 2024! #RST
- Little team bonding for the Freshman Celts! Hit the bowling alley to reset before the second round of conference play! #RST
- Extremely excited to announce I will be joining the staff at @jeromebball as the next head Freshman Coach! I’d like to thank @CoachRB3 and the staff for welcoming me and am super excited to get to work!
- Freshman celts hit the schott yesterday to see Ohio State’s 2OT win against Maryland, something these guys know a little about. Really cool learning experience for them to see how things work at a high level. Only a few more games with this group :/ #RST
- Freshman Celts get the revenge win against Darby! They have now beaten every team in our conference. While the win was great, what touched me the most was the kids all wore my mom’s name on their wrists, which was incredibly kind of them. Can’t say how much I love these kids ❤️
- Huge TEAM win for the Freshman Celts today! 2 starters injured, playing a very talented Thomas Worthington team ranked first in the conference prior to tonight who beat us by 30 earlier in the season. The growth these kids have made is unbelievable. Best is yet to come! #RST
- That’s how you respond to adversity! Tempers high, thing weren’t going how we wanted and these guys didn’t complain, just let their game do the talking. Huge week in the conference beating 2 teams who were ranked first. Extremely proud of these boys!
- As the season has come to an end, wanted to thank all my kids and their families for their unwavering support for me this year. Nothing but love and respect for everyone involved this year. Only the beginning for this group, mark my words they aren’t done! #RST
- 12/14 guys got in the scoring column, all 14 got to play meaningful minutes. That’s the definition of a TEAM win! Proud of these guys to come out with a great mentality and played hard all 28 minutes! #RST
- Overtime win for the freshman celts! Everyone got to play in this one and the team fought through a lot of adversity to get this one against liberty. Only one more Thursday at home against Coffman. Season flies by really quick and I’m nothing but grateful for all these guys!#RST
- Another one in the books, that’s 4 in a row for the squad. So proud of how we battled adversity to find a way to win no matter what. Let’s keep this thing rolling! #RST
- Every day I’m reminded how blessed I am to be able to work with such amazing people. The coaches I’ve had, coached against, coached with, and all of the kids and parents I’ve had the privilege to know makes me a better person every day! #RST 🐺🐺🐺
