TX HS Football seasons are drawing to a close for a lot of teams. Coaches if you're out of it, tired or just worried about what's next - don't let your last couple weeks of practice be same-ole-same.
Make them memorable for the kids who are almost out of time to make memories.
This is actually really good.

Some prospects don't make varsity basketball until their JR season. This is the year for some you will really make that jump. For others that think they have arrived will stop working. Don't be the latter because it will show.
We’ve seen some great gains in our Bridgeport Bulls Off-Season Basketball Program in the weight room from our August max day to yesterday’s Day 1 Maxes. The hard work is paying off! Here are the top three performers from yesterday. @oJones_07 @juliusj2028 @BHSBullsBBall

Coach Leslie is an awesome Coach and knows how to find great players!
Committed ♥️⚔️!
I am blessed to announce my commitment to Westmont College!
First of all, I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity and guiding me through every step of the process.
I would like to thank my mom and grandpa for being by my side and supporting my dream since I was little. I also want to thank the rest of my family for supporting and believing in me through it all.
I would like to thank all my coaches for pouring into me and helping turn me into the player I am today. Coach Ward, Coach Jay, Coach Lovvorn, Coach Gentry, Coach Thomas, Coach Yocom, and Coach Jake. I am forever grateful for the time, lessons, and opportunities each of you have given me.
To all my teammates, thank you for supporting me and pushing me to be my best on and off the court. I am also grateful for everyone who has supported me throughout my journey.
Lastly, thank you to Coach Leslie and the entire Westmont coaching staff for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. I am excited for what God has in store for this next chapter!
#GoWarriors! ♥️⚔️
