@Ksives3 That’s good.

After loss to St John’s tonight. New coach announced at Kansas.

Anonymous I was flying Southwest from Dallas to New York. Three rows ahead of me, there was a young soldier in uniform. He looked barely 18. He was staring straight ahead, gripping the armrests. He looked nervous. When the drink cart came around, the flight attendant asked him what he wanted. 'Coke, please,' he said. 'Heading home?' she asked kindly. 'No, ma'am,' he said. 'Deploying. First time.' The whole row went quiet. The flight attendant didn't say a word. she handed him his Coke. Then, she got on the PA system. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest in Row 8 today. Private Miller is on his first deployment to serve our country. Since I can't buy him a drink, I’m going to ask a favor. If you want to write him a note of encouragement, pass it forward.' I grabbed a napkin. I wrote: 'You got this. Stay safe. - A dad from Row 12.' I watched as napkins traveled up the aisle. Napkins, receipts, pages torn from books. By the time we landed, the soldier had a pile of paper on his tray table three inches high. He stood up to get his bag, and he was wiping his eyes. He carefully packed every single scrap of paper into his rucksack. 'Thank you,' he told the flight attendant. 'No,' she said. 'Thank you.' We all walked off that plane a little quieter, reminded that freedom is just a word until you meet the kid who is defending it.

One of the best halftime basketball dunks you'll ever see 💥

Your attitude affects every part of you, including your work ethic, performance, leadership, and mental health. That’s why it’s so important. A bad attitude holds you back in life while a good attitude pushes you forward!

Coaches are also human…. Mental health and mindset matter for adults too… not just student athletes… #BERELENTLESS #LIVEEYESUP linkedin.com/posts/zach-bra…

Why do some sports parents sit alone? - No drama. - No complaining. - They don’t want to hear ignorance. - No badmouthing coaches or officials. - They just want to relax & enjoy the game. 👉 Be part of the solution. Not the problem.

@dunwa_omot @omot_bajedo Well done #10

It’s been real. Grateful for the opportunity to put on this jersey for 5yrs! College basketball gave me memories, lessons, and lifelong relationships. Thanks to all my coaches, trainers, teammates, family, and the community for supporting me along the way. Forever thankful! 🔟✍🏿

@ChadCourrier Wow, I can’t imagine opening the Free Press and not read your column. Thanks for all you’ve given to sports and especially your coverage of high school sports. Your big picture insights were spot not.

Bit of personal news: Friday will be my last day as full-timer at Free Press. Leaving on my own, may freelance. Been a great 33-plus-year run with no regrets. Been blessed by all the relationships that come with job. Really appreciate all of you.

HS Football Players Why consider D3 as a great option? The NCAA does not allow for athletic scholarships at the D3 level, however schools have academic, merit and need base options to financially get the education you are looking all while developing your football skills. FACTS⬇️

@SMSUMustangs Congratulations Coach!!! Well deserved. Blessings on the rest of the season.
