There's Always Next Year
Ladies and gentlemen, players, parents, all. With best regards to my principal, Dr. Kevin Brooks and my esteemed Athletic Director, Coach Adam Bennet, and our Team Moms, Doris and JaN’iyah, for making this wonderful occasion possible.

Bad Habits
Bad habits are killing the joy inside of me. I always want to blame others for how they made me feel, but I know I am at fault for putting myself back into situations that have already hurt me.
