Four years ago I gave up coaching Basketball as the Junior Varsity Coach and Varsity Assistant at Enterprise High School to spend more time with my family and coach my own sons in Basketball at the Rec. Center in Enterprise. That was the best decision that I ever made for both me and my children. My children really benefited from my time with them. We were able to spend alot of father-son quality time together while doing what we all loved...play basketball. We are all big Duke Blue Devil fans so we named our team the Blue Devils.I was fortunate enough the first year to get to coach my boys on the same team. It was awesome. Just like Duke we played tough man to man defense and were very disciplined on offense. We practiced at least three days each week and rolled through that season beating everyone on our way to an undefeated season. The next year I had to coach two different teams because of the age difference in my boys. Brock, my youngest son, never found out what it was to lose a game while playing rec. ball. His Blue Devil team never lost a game and were the league champs 3 years in a row!
Since those three years both of my boys have gone on to successful Jr High Basketball seasons and are working hard on there skills for the High School and even college levels. This time spent together doing what we love to do will never be forgotten by my boys or myself. I truly believe that you can never go wrong when you put the Lord first, Family second, and job, etc. last.
