“Gavin brings a great deal of energy, whether he gets in for one minute or if he plays a decent amount,” the coach said. “Gavin has the same attitude and effort and energy, and I was glad to have Gavin as part of what we do. He grew as a player.”

Though Plattsburg had just 12 players on the roster, Coach T credited all of them for working their tails off since the very first day, and that was why they kept all 12 on the varsity roster throughout the season. He said they earned it and he was thankful for their dedication to the program this season.

Not to be forgotten himself, Coach T has been at Plattsburg just two seasons and has already helped the Tigers to make history –and to better themselves as young student-athletes.

“His ability to push me every day and make me be at my best – he pushed everyone to their best,” said Isaia Howard. “He holds everyone to the same high standard.”
