To all my former & current African-American players, and players I've coached against, I see your fears, pain, anger, and sadness. The Holy Spirit has convicted me to stay silent no longer. I'm not going to sit on the sidelines and watch you guys fight these battles alone!

Senior Carson Mattingly: “My favorite memory is Bering HenryCo last year. I’m thankful for my parents and brothers at DeSales. Coach Jackson is going to push these future classes into DeSales men. I’m glad I got to do this year with him.”
