This past week I was honored by Basketball Ireland to be Named Player of the Month for October. I didn’t even know the award existed until I found out I won the award. I have to thank Coach Pat and my teammates for putting me in this wonderful position to win this award. Also, congratulations to Coach Pat for winning Coach of the Month! It’s a true honor to our team to bring home both awards to go along with our 6-0 record in regular season. I have the best teammates. We all get along well on and off the court. On the court our chemistry is getting stronger and stronger. We have a talented bunch of guys on our rosters. Multiple players have led individual games in scoring which is what makes us so dangerous.

 

I was overwhelmed by the support I received from those here and back home for winning the award. I didn’t realize news could spread that quick but I’m completely thankful to be in this position. First I’d like to give thanks to God! Next to Sport Changes Life for offering this wonderful program and putting me in this opportunity. I also would like to thank Coach Pat and my teammates! Last but not least my support system back in the USA. I’m extremely thankful for them with all the encouraging text and FaceTime calls motivating me, checking on me and just wishing me well. I was honored after a win at home with a Gold Molten Basketball. It’s a pretty cool award and basketball I must say!
