Three weeks til
the 1st day of practice. Man time goes fast! Our guys have been
working hard in our pre-season workouts. TJ Burns, our strength
and conditioning coach has put together another tough program
for them. I know it's not their favorite time of the day but
they understand that reach the goals we have set, this pain is a
must. Our individual workouts have been good as well. I like the
way our guys are responding and my assistants are doing a good
job of teaching. This is always a hectic time for us because we
have to work on getting our guys ready and get back out on the
road to recruit. Again, my assistants have done a great job
getting into a bunch of open gym workouts.
My family received some tough news last week, my grandfather,
Fred Carrington pasted away at 88. We called him "Granddaddy
Jap", he is my mother's father. He was a great man and taught my
brothers and I how you should carry yourself as a god fearing
man. He never cursed and never had 1 drink of alcohol. He had
his own auto garage at his house, served in every capacity
possible at the church and had a brief time playing with the
Harlem Globetrotters before he was shipped off into World War
II. I learned a lot from him and I will miss him.
That same weekend my daughter, Nyla turned 4! I can't believe
how fast the clock moves. She had a great time at her party with
her friends and received a bunch of gifts. That little girl is
going to be special, I can feel it.
Everybody here is ready for another exciting season of Mount
Basketball. We just need to keep working and make it happen. I
can't wait til October 16th gets here!
