This morning, we said goodbye to our beloved daughter, Sasha. She took her last breath in our arms, asking us to hold her tight — and then even tighter — until her heart finally stopped. Leaving her behind felt like losing a piece of ourselves. Sasha fought cancer with a courage that words cannot describe. For months, through every treatment and setback, she smiled, comforted us, and showed us what love really means. Even in the hardest times, her spirit never gave up. Despite everything, she never stopped loving. In her final days, we could see how much cancer had weakened her small body. But her spirit stayed strong. When she passed, it was peaceful, and her mind was spared the worst of the pain. Though we will never feel her warmth again or hear her laugh, her memory and legacy will always remain. Sasha taught us to love without limits, to fight with all our strength, and to find happiness in even the smallest moments. Her bravery and strength were unmatched, and her story will continue to inspire change. No child should face what she went through, and we now carry her legacy, working in her name for a better world.

When you’re married, you learn something quick — you hate who your wife hates. So when new players or new coaches walk in, Marcus Freeman tells them: ‘We're in a relationship now. I don’t care where you were when they told us we weren’t making the playoff. You’re part of this family, so you carry that hurt with us. You feel it for the people who were here before you." If you’re going to wear this logo, you don’t get to choose the scars. You inherit the fight 🔔☘️ 🎥 @On3 w/@jdpickell

I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony. But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing. Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it. Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me. Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping. Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie. I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me. Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work. I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today. Start now.
