I love basketball!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love the game of basketball. I coach three young boys teams in our community recreation leagues. I watch as much basketball as time will allow...with ESPN 1 and 2 and U and FOX sports, etc. you can just about watch any game you want. I even get up often in the early morning (5:30 am) to actually go a run a full court game for an hour.
I even more excited about basketball at the moment. I have the opportunity to something I have always wanted to do....coach an AAU basketball team. The AAU team is one of the 14 and under Garner Road Bulldogs teams. The level of competition and athleticism is intense. Many young boys trying to become men who want to excel in basketball play at this level. I am proud to say my son, Luke will get to play at this level. It is an honor and it is exciting.
One reason I love basketball so much is because I can use it to teach life lessons to these young boys. Pray for me as I try to shine light into the darkness!
Go Bulldogs!
