For years these young men have been pouring their hearts in to the game of basketball. For many of them the game is a release from the hardships they face in day to day life and it is their passion. These young men have not had access to proper equipment which has led to limited performance. My players deserve the best quality gear available to perform at their best. Not only will new gear help my players perform their best, it will also increase player safety. Playing in gear that doesn't fit and is old contributes to injuries. I want my players to be proud of themselves, our team, and our school! Will you help us be our best? -Coach Murphy
