DeSoto gets to make one last case for the No. 1️⃣ spot on our Power 2️⃣5️⃣ this weekend. Would a state title win be enough to edge by Bishop Gorman, Mater Dei or Chaminade-Madonna? 🤔👑 Click the link and vote who you think will end the year on top of ⬇️: highschool.si.com/national/2…

When you have kids in for lunch and they get so heated in an unsolicited debate about whether Russia’s downfall was Germany or Stalin’s fault that they stand up and ask me to fact check their arguments. This is a social studies teacher’s dream!

And M.A.R.C.H. Madness (Most Accomplished & Revered Citizen in History) is back in the classroom! Our “Selection Monday” went great! The reigning champion Frederick Douglass is looking to repeat after a long COVID delay!

Successful Transition Defense requires a team to STOP! 🤔 🤔 🤔 Sprint Talk Observe Point
I’ve been deep diving into coach McKillop’s motion offense, reads, & rules & it’s safe to say that I’m falling in love. Please share any insight, links, and thoughts!
TOTD: Winning cannot be the sole connection between a coach, a player, and a teammate. “Winning” becomes inconsistent at times & failure will destroy the culture if there isn’t rapport outside of the game. Coach them hard, but love them harder!
