@SamTheManFrick Sam, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I’ve covered plenty of his games at Angola prior to him taking the New Haven job previously held by the successful Bruce Stephens. The very first ANEC Game of the Week that I talked about was a Boys/Girls doubleheader between Angola and Central Noble during the 2019-20 season.

ONE SHINING MOMENT Congrats to the Triton Trojans, Westview Warriors, and the New Haven Bulldogs on punching their tickets to the 2026 IHSAA Boys’ Basketball State Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse! @TrojanBaskets @WestviewHoops @nhbulldogs

Deuce says DEUCES ✌️🏽 Tarvar "Deuce" Baskerville (@TarvarB2) scores a go-ahead bucket with 1.9 seconds left to help @NHHS_MBB knock off Columbia City for their first semi-state title in school history! THIS IS MARCH. @nhbulldogs @nhhsbulldogs @NE8_Athletics @AppletonBrandon

NHHS alum and friend wishing @AppletonBrandon and the Bulldogs good luck at State!

@nhbulldogs @nhhsbulldogs @AppletonBrandon

@AppletonBrandon congrats man! So happy for you and your team! Couldn’t have happened to a better person and coach!

The @nhbulldogs keep making history! In their first Semi-State appearance, the Bulldogs erased second-half deficits in both games to punch their ticket to the Class 3A State Championship. Tarvar Baskerville (@TarvarB2) played hero in the late game.
