“ I want to thank all that helped bring me to Carrollton in 1994, particularly Mike Barry (Supt.) and Max Greer (Principal) I had a wonderful 23-year stretch at CHS, and it's a direct reflection of the outstanding student-athletes and supportive parents that I've had the pleasure of working with. I will greatly miss the Basketball Coaching Fraternity and Officials I have dealt with over the years, and want to thank them as well.
