Our little league was robbed of thousands of dollars worth of equipment last night. Please help me as I try to raise $5,000 to replace all the stolen equipment. This place serves hundreds of kids in our community each year and I’d appreciate any/all help.
Tonight, Reese Taylor set the school record for passing TDs in a season (35 and counting). He also is up to 7,145 career passing yards and over 9,000 total yards. (In only 33 games at QB)
I love seeing these guys listening to and embracing Coach D. He coached his last game before any of them were born, and yet, I bet he could get them to run through a wall for him if he asked.
Shoutout to this

student and his dad for clearing my mom’s driveway for her. (She of course couldn’t remember his name and they were done by the time I asked)

Tired of trying to convince people on Facebook that detaining children is wrong. Regardless of someone’s political stance, regardless of whose policy allowed this, regardless of what their parents did- there is nothing about keeping kids in cages that is acceptable. Nothing.
Brody Williams (Senior, varsity captain) was the last player to leave the complex tonight. Without being asked, he stuck around and helped the freshman team clean up the field after their game and made sure everything was done before he left. That’s leadership.

Maybe it’s time to give Zane Doughty a profile page and rank the man- he dominated every one of your Indiana 5 stars. The kid might be the most underrated player in the country.
David Bell didn’t win Mr. Football? That’s laughable. Unstoppable against a schedule consisting solely of conference opponents (from one of the toughest conferences in the country). Embarrassing job by the voters.

So wait- my Wrexham friends- the National League prohibits streaming of games? In 2022? Do they not like making money? How am I supposed to watch games?
Exactly 2 years ago, announced on social media that we were pregnant with Griffey. So, it’s only fitting to announce that we’ll be welcoming another UK fan into the world in July.
Official statement in regards to where I will be taking my talents for the 2019-2020 season. I’ll be working on a 1 year contract with multiple additional years of club options.
What a great group of young men to represent our school and our community! That makes 10 State Titles for the Giants! (And am happy I got to enjoy it with Kaylin, Griffey, and Bodie… and some students who I didn’t take pictures with.)
This morning, I completed my performance review and thus, completed my Masters program (something I never imagined doing). Today was a reminder of all the people I owe thanks to, none more than Kaylin (and the boys). Thank you to everyone who helped me on this journey!
After joining on a whim in the middle of a global pandemic, tonight concluded my 2 years as a Butler grad student. I am grateful to have shared this experience with my other cohort members and definitely made several lifelong friends whom I would never have met otherwise.
Those protesting the governors of states (including ours) and clamoring to re-open everything regardless of the risk to others are morons. If you are one of them, then You. Are. A. Moron.

This is going to a dangerous squad come tourney time. 19 new starters and absolutely had a chance to beat one of the most experienced teams in the state. Get us now because it won’t happen October and November.
Got back late, but the team stuck around for a while to take pictures and spend a little more time in uniform with Matt. Been a pleasure to have this young man in our program- bummed he’s leaving early but he’s leaving to serve our country, and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Saw a great act of leadership today- 2 soon-to-be senior
@BenDavisFB
players stayed after their teammates and picked up weights that were overlooked. No complaints, just doing what they needed to do.
Also- while Kirk Herbstreit’s donation is amazing- I don’t want to ignore the fact that so many friends and family (and some complete strangers) shared and supported. It means so much and I appreciate it!
My 11 year old nephew went to Taylor’s basketball camp recently. He told me a kid from Ben Davis (
@BenDavisBasket1
)- assume it was Jeff Clayton- was super nice to him. Wasn’t surprised but always awesome to hear such positive things about BD people.
Always an amazing night when you beat that team from the Eastside. So proud of the fight and resilience shown by every one- players and coaches. Keep it rolling!
I’m not against MLB experimenting with new rules. However, if they truly want to grow the game- invest in youth leagues in areas that kids can’t afford baseball. Stop allowing baseball to be dominated by wealthy areas and elite travel teams that cost thousands of dollars a year.
To our seniors- Jose, Kam, Dom, AJ (and potentially any that was going to tryout and make the team)- there’s not much I can say. I am sad I won’t have a chance to coach you again. You’ve absolutely left a mark on our program. I’ll do anything to help you moving forward.
Proud of everyone involved with the
@BenDavisFB
program. Not how you want it to end but this team showed real character this season and left its mark on a storied program. Again, so proud to be a Giant!
Congratulations to former neighbor, Westlake/Fulton/BD alum and current AP at BDU
@david_sekulaBDU
on the adoption of his son! So awesome and worth publicly acknowledging! Happy for you and your wife!
I love Wayne Walks- I just got to see soooooo many of my former students, some I haven't seen in 4 years. Proud of all the seniors!! Congrats on wrapping up this part of your journey and good luck in the next phase!
If your goal is D1- you need AT LEAST (but preferably higher) a 2.0 gpa in core classes (english, math, science, etc.) plus a required SAT/ACT score. Doesn't matter how talented you are if you haven't shown you can be successful academically (or can't even get in).
Dear elementary school leaders- I had the pleasure of interviewing 3 prospective teachers from
@ButlerCOE
tonight and my main takeaway is you should hire them asap. There are some GREAT candidates headed your way!
I was thinking/wondering this morning when was the last time an all black staff won a title? (I assume it’s happened, and maybe recently, but genuinely curious.)… How many young men will now be inspired to teach/coach because of these great coaches? Representation matters!
I’ve spent a lot of time recently thinking about my profession and my path to today. I’ve decided to share why I chose to be an educator, why I stuck with it, and why I am speaking up for educators.

at practice. Sure- I didn’t have pads on and was coaching, but a win is a win.
Tonight, I had the honor and privilege of celebrating
@oliviarnash
. I feel so lucky to have played a role in her educational journey and am so unbelievably proud of all she’s accomplished.
Super appreciative of the 2022 Seniors for this honor. My last group when I was upstairs- loved them. Miss them. So proud of all they’ve done and all that’s in front of them.
