Great week of camp! Over 90 campers brought the energy and enthusiasm all week long!

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS: Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.” Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.” Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.” Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.” Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.” Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?” Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.” Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.” Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)” Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.” Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.” Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.” Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.” Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.” Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.” Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.” Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.” Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college. About 1.5% of those get drafted. Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues. The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.” I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

Dog was just waiting for his opportunity to get on the couch haha.

You know the deal before deciding to play circuit 🏀Easy Fix - Go back to supporting/playing community lead sports. Local Summer Leagues indoor/outdoor parks and rec. or understand the $$ will be what the market allows. Simple economics

Uninvited. Unapologetic. Ignited. #IgniteTheOrange

COOL INTROS Hats off to Hazleton for how they did the starting lineups here tonight. They played Billy Joel’s “Allentown” when the @ACCHSVikings girls were introduced and the theme for “The Office” for Scranton Prep.

What an honor to have juniors Luke Lehman and Avery Ewer, and senior Brycen George recognized by the Division coaches as all-stars this season. Luke was named Player of the Year/1st team, and Avery and Brycen to the 2nd team.

THE COST OF YOUTH SPORTS IS KILLING THE FUTURE OF SPORTS

Alright here's the vid Where every state hosting their high school basketball state championship, by capacity

Our season came to an end last night. What the group accomplished this season far exceeded expectations and we gained valuable experience with our postseason opportunity. The young men showed up every day...eager to learn and aspiring to be the best they can be. Proud coach.

Win or go home, part 2.

The one thing I don't understand is why colleges throughout District 10 aren't begging for playoff basketball games. How else do you get hundreds of prospective students on campus with no effort? I'd plant an admissions counselor or two next to the ticket booth as well.

Win or go home.

Headed to Spring Grove this evening for a 1st round matchup in District playoffs.

Love seeing local colleges open up their facilities for postseason basketball. Wish a lot more followed suit. It’s a win-win for great facilities for players and exposure for the colleges.

Didn't know what to expect coming into this season with an inexperienced team, but I knew we would compete and work hard in everything. That effort and growing experience has earned us a ticket to the postseason! Nothing better than the second season!

District 11, .500 or better in league play and you are automatic districts qualifier.
