“Jerry is one of the biggest pluses we could ever ask for at BHS basketball. He’s played here for the Warriors and has great pride in this school and contributing as a player to the winning tradition… and now as a coach. He loves the game and the players he coaches. He also has a keen eye for scouting and evaluating talent. Jerry’s work ethic in improving as a coach, contributing to the program, and looking for ways to help players advance their skills, are areas that jump out when you are around him. Huge impact on our basketball family.”
