My Dad… if you know him, you know how much he loves watching Carlie!! 💙💛 He never missed one of my games in high school or college and now he rarely misses one of hers.

Carlie Thurmond was selected as 19TH DISTRICT Tournament MVP!! Averaging 22pts/game, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in the tournament! The best part is how humble she is! Always about the team and getting the WIN! Super proud Mom!
Sports are extremely important for our children’s development. For many young men and women it’s playing varsity sports that keep them on track towards graduation and maintaining grades.
