About:

At the beginning of the season Coach Joe Pawlak and Athletic director John Grzymala reached out to me to inform us that we will be using our platfom of basketball to host a Coaches vs Cancer game  to celebrate one of the teachers in the RH district that is battling cancer.
A week prior to the game we were sent the “I play for” or “I coach for” card stock to fill in anyone who knows a loved one or someone close to them battling cancer.  We talked in our team meeting prior to practice Wednesday night how no matter what school or community anyone is from we all are touched with unfortunate circumstances that many times are out of our control and to have gratitude for what we have in this life.
Many of our players mentioned a young man from Wilson who they have spent many years at basketball camp with has been battling cancer and how they have the opportunity to play in this game as he continues to fight so many of us decided to dedicate the game to Tyler a kid who is always giving it everything he had when he was on the football field or the basketball court.
