" I am so excited and honored to be back at Matignon as one of only three head coaches in the history of the school. To have an opportunity to bring the tradition back to Matignon like it was when I was there, and to have an opportunity to have my name listed as one of the head coaches next to Marty Pierce is where I want to be. Coach Pierce taught me what it meant to be a warrior and I'm going to pass that along to all the boys in the program"
