A MESSAGE FROM COACH MIDDLEBROOKS
For those that know me and/or my background, you are aware that the mix of basketball and a college prep education literally saved my life. As a result, I have dedicated a significant portion of my personal life (time, talents and treasures) to give this same opportunity to young people that embrace it, just as others gave it to me back in 1985. I genuinely need your monetary help and the Coach’s Corner is designed to allow everyone to help, regardless of his or her personal financial position. While I know that we will still need “deep pocket donors” in addition to the Coach’s Corner donors, every gift (no matter the size) counts and positively impacts the lives of student-athletes that participate in my program. Please help me to shape the future of our next generations.
