As a team, what are your offensive strengths?
Savanna Gamett will add to our deep ball threat this year. We will be an evenly balanced attack on offense this year this will be an improvement from last year.
Defensive Areas you hope to improve on over last year:
The defense this year will have to be stronger than last year to have a chance of getting back to state in our very competitive conference.
Does your team have a motto/theme for the upcoming season?
Our Theme is RISE. It is a reminder to rise to the challenge of defending our district championship from last year.
Besides the pay, the fame and the glory, why do you coach high school basketball?
I find that athletics teach life lessons. That is the best part for me as a coach. I love having an opportunity to make a positive change in students’ lives.
What makes your school the best place to coach for?
The students, staff, and patrons in the community are awesome. Ririe is an amazing place to teach, coach, and live. I love it here!
