Vision - What We Want to Produce

This staff and program want to produce young adults with Ownership and Leadership (AWOL). They possess responsibility for themselves in their academics, athletics, and personal lives (ownership). They have the ability to take themselves and others where they cannot always envision or may not want to go (leadership).

Mission - How We Get There

This staff will produce young adults with ownership and leadership through daily and constant training in athleticism, academics, and leadership through challenges, training, and learning on the field, in the weight room, in the classroom, and in life, based on the program's core values of attitude, love, loyalty, integrity, and now (ALL IN).

COACHING PHILOSOPHY:  Our main philosophy is that of training our athletes to be ‘HIP’ in every aspect of their lives.  We encourage and try to train them to play with H-onor, live with I-ntegrity, and lead with P-assion.  Our main philosophical belief is that we want players to be better people when they walk out of here, in addition to being great volleyball players.  High school athletics provide student-athletes with excellent real-life situations and guidance without real-life consequences.  We believe this is a fundamental element of participation in the volleyball program.  We subscribe to the theory that the competitive athletic experience can enhance social development, contribute to mental and physical health, as well as teach the values of teamwork, goal-setting, responsibility, self-discipline, and self-motivation.

Welcome to Boys Basketball!

Head Coach: Garron Brown

Boys Basketball Website

Teamwork: This great game of basketball demands that you put the best interest of your teammate before yourself. Learning to work with others as a team in pursuit of a common goal

Trust: Trust is the glue that bonds us together and allows us to achieve more together than we could on our own.  Players have to trust in their own abilities, their teammates, and their coaches

Discipline: In the  classroom and on the court, we must follow the rules that we agreed to for the sake of the team

Accountability: Every action has a consequence, and everyone will be responsible for their actions. We will hold each other accountable for the sake of the team.

Sacrifice: Student-athletes play for their team, their school, their community, and themselves.

Hard Work: In the classroom, at practices, in games, and during the off-season. Never stop working to improve your talent and skills to compete at a high level. Never blame anyone for  your lack of effort or use excuses to cover it up.
