Last AAU weekend! Like most of these guys our spring & summers since elementary, have revolved around travel ball. Signifies not only the end of an era, but also that next chapter knocking on the door. Proud mama cheering from home, that won’t change. Thx for the clip, coach 🥹
4 & 2, lots of hoops left in front of you both! Your mom’s are gonna miss watching you hoop together, that is true. Made noise, and history for the County. Head up.

He will stick a 1-4 on the court. Defending the top ranked kids in the country is not a problem when you’re built like a tight end. Drops dimes to make his team mates better. I’m told his basketball IQ is very high and he’s in the game when they count. Jr year loading ⏳📈
First live period around the corner for our first born’s last AAU season 🥹
The work doesn’t stop, but have to recognize accomplishments along the journey. Last season was a season, and you got one more to go..💫💫

finished with 20 PTs, 10 RB, and 7 assists in the consolation championship against a tough Dublin team today. Not the outcome they wanted at Gridley, but a great experience. Congrats on making the All Tournament team J! The Branson boys are getting stronger.

contributes there, and this stat popped up from the 17u’s and 3ssb leaderboard over the weekend. Leading in steals 🔥
Some of the hopes I have for all my boys are centered around opportunity, growth, love, spirituality, tools to weather adversity and just being good humans. Grateful to Dame & the coaches, and all they planted/poured into J and these kids at

Was fun Friday night watching him play against a pretty loaded Compton Magic team. Getting some run in with Lakeshow this weekend with a few of the JGE guys. 🙏
Surprise drop off today. Thanks
@bransonschool
for providing a strong academic foundation that was equally rigorous as it was supportive. Proud of you J for figuring out a way to juggle books while you continue to follow your hoop dreams. Congrats on the honors!
If you’re good enough they will find you. That’s not the wave but your mom is glad she got to keep you around thru HS 🤞
More work, bigger stage & opportunities on the horizon doing what you love.

Clipped the last 2 game possessions and big time shots, which wraps AAU with JGE. 1 pt loss which is how it goes sometimes. Proud of you! Best hoops still ahead. Thx to the program and coaches, appreciate you all.
