Uh, I coached youth basketball when I was in, in high school, and I wanted to continue to coach.

So when I went to college at Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I approached the men's basketball coach there, Paul Gavin, who is still there by the way, uh, and also the athletic director now.

And I said, "Hey, I'd, I'd love to, to help out.

I don't know what that means.

I don't think I, you know, wanna put all that time into it, and it's just not, not what I wanna do.

I'm, I'm done with that part of my basketball career." And, uh, very appreciative of him.

He let me be a student assistant coach, uh, for a couple of years while I could at Mount Mercy.

Um, we had a JV team at Mount Mercy, which was kinda cool.

It's really cool.

So it's really cool that we've got some local girls, Mackenzie Zappia playing Division II, Karli Irvine playing NAIA in, uh, Mount Mercy.

Over the weekend, I was out for a little while.

I didn't get a chance to stay for much of the game, but great to see a good crowd out for Mount Mercy's football home opener.

They ended up losing to William Woods, 29-26, I believe the final score was.

Not a great weekend for our local D3 or NAIA teams, at least on the football field, all of them taking losses this weekend.
