Super happy for our @MIHSBoysHoops assistant coach, Shea Robinson, for going into the Seattle Prep Hall of Fame last week! Shea was an incredible player and leader and he brings those attributes and more to coaching. Lucky to sit next to this guy every game!

Many don’t know I’ve been an assistant for the XC teams for 10 yrs. A few days ago, this group went double back 2 back (boys and girls). Incredible. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when ALL arrows are pointed in the same direction! Congrats Coach Empey, the staff & the kids!

So let me get this straight, Yamamoto can go 9 innings in the WS, but Kirby can’t go more than 4 in the ALCS game 7? All this pitching we talked about for years? SMH.

Not much more to say than this. I’m a coach so I feel for Dan. We all make plenty of coaching mistakes. We all get better over time. I hope he learns from this since I assume he’ll be back.
The Mariners went with Eduard Bazardo in a crucial spot instead of a well-rested Andrés Muñoz, and George Springer made them pay.
BK digs in.

As I stew on OKC winning a gift of a game 7 w/ the best player on the Pacers hurt, I am proud of our @MIHSBoysHoops squad. A 4-2 finish at UO Team Camp capped by a gritty win against a good Churchill (OR) squad in the finale. I love coaching our team! Passion, Grit, Selflessness!
