Good morning to y’all,
We had a blessed day of plentiful basketball day for Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. My day was a bit longer as most of the players on the Older and Younger teams (about 35 students) spent the night at the church last night. A big shoutout goes to James Marino for staying with me. He asked, “Is a lock-in worse than this?” I responded with, “Yes, and we are making them go to bed at 1:00am, in a lock-in, they have no bedtime.”
There were many others that helped run the concession, scoreboard, books, and clean up and I am very grateful for them also.
The RA teams finished the day 2-2 and the head ref Jerry made his final tour to Grand Bay as he will be retiring after this basketball season. Nicole graciously got him some Gumbo and that is probably the only reason why we finished 2-2, not because of my coaching.
We have set a date and details for our Dinner & Show Fundraiser and it is below so please check it out. More also on other things coming up.

This year’s winterjam information on artists can be found at jamtour.com. We will take a bus to the concert. It is $10 to get in and people coming will need money for food if they plan to eat there.
We will leave the church at 4:00pm to get in line for the concert. We will leave after the last act of the concert ends and come back to the church. In the past this has been around 10:30pm and we have got back to the church at 11:15pm. This is a school night so student can be picked up by parents earlier from the Mitchell Center which appropriate consent.
