“A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies but once.” Shakespeare How did it take me this long to fully appreciate this quote? You can worry about scenarios and worst cases all day…but it’s just unnecessary stress when compared to just dealing with what’s real.

@JamesIsLegend33 Appreciate you!

@BrentSowder You had huge shoes to fill and you most definitely filled them With no doubt you have done and will continue to do great things.

3 years ago today my life changed. I hope I’ve lived up to the expectations of those who entrusted me with this great program. Being able to coach the young men I have and being able to coach with the guys on my staff. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thankful to be the coach of Campbell County.

@ukbear03 Means a lot! Thank you!

@BrentSowder You are a great coach and leader of young men!

Trained to go.

I can take losing I guess but to see this team quit is rough. 0 fight today once they went down at half. This can’t be acceptable.

If you get bored…I enjoyed this conversation with Mike Kannady and FocalFlip. I wish I was more eloquent but if you get beyond that…who I try to be is found in this episode! Episode 74 - Brent Sowder - History, Hoops, & Hard Truths youtu.be/Y1hLdK_nGWA?si…

Congrats to my guy Austin Davie on his NKBBCA Div 1 All Star status. This kid is special. Couldn’t be prouder of him.

The back of my card for my coaching career. Is that a dated reference? Baseball cards still a thing?

@tscaggswftm Lot of respect for Coach High.

GRC was better tonight from start to finish, but I think Dustin High did a great job this season. The spot he was put in was extremely difficult. High is great dude.

@champagnelusti Appreciate you Coach!!! Can’t wait to cheer you guys on!

@BrentSowder Losing is never easy, but when you do you hope that you go down fighting and you all fought the entire game…which you all did the entire season! Get well Coach, and cheers to a great season. You’ve built a winning culture.

On top of being ill, I’m struggling with the season being over. You see a goal so clearly, you see a vision in such totality, and you see kids bought into it so completely that it is devastating when the dream isn’t realized. All that said, I’m proud of our team and proud of how they have represented the community. I’ve heard through back channels that some people like to snicker at the “Do it the right way Camels” as if that is something to be made fun of. We aren’t and I’m not perfect but I’ll never apologize for being proud of our young men from Campbell.

@JCHSBballCoach Congrats Coach!

When you want something so bad for a group of kids and you see them work so hard for it and it just falls a little short it hurts real bad. Seeing the devastation in the locker room hurt even worse, but it shows me how much these kids loved each other and cared for each other and that the camel culture is strong. Love these kids love my team. Thankful I get to do this. Camel pride!

Congratulations to Austin Davie on his POY and Cade Anthrop on making All Region as voted on by 10th Region Head Coaches.

@champagnelusti Yes sir! Thanks Coach!!

@BrentSowder Great win Coach, keep it rollin!

I love this team. They are young, exciting, and play for each other. It’s been a heck of a journey and excited to get to continue it Monday night.
