    So thankful for all of the wonderful relationships we have built with the players, coaches, admin and staff at FCHS and friendships we have made in Freeburg but I am so excited and thankful for the opportunity to be the next head coach at Pinckneyville High School.

    Our captains and I with @salemhoopcats assistant Coach Greg Bass. We presented him with a care package for his son Beckham who is fighting leukemia. Hope we can put a smile on his face and get a pic of him rocking that Freeburg Basketball T-Shirt #GoMidgets #Beckhamstrong

    Midgets are the Cahokia conference champions. Sealing it tonight with a 47-29 win at home over Columbia tonight. What a way to send our seniors Luke Ervie, Austin Lickenbrock and Eli Hoover out. Love those guys!! We still have work to do next week. Record is 23-8 #GoMidgets

    My thoughts and prayers go out to Justin Love’s family, friends and the Mascoutah High School Community. I’ve known Justin since we used to hoop together in West Pine gym in the early 2000’s summers. Great player, Coach and man. He will certainly be missed. @MHS19_ATHLETICS

    My man Ty had his first AAU tourney this weekend. I’m guessing those kids in the yellow don’t have a 7’ dad and a 6’ mom...

    A very proud moment as a coach on Wednesday night when our players all showed up at my Father-in-law's wake to show their love and support to our family. It meant the world to all of us. I can't thank these kids enough and their parents for raising them the right way. #GoMidgets
