20+ plus coaches last week and not one pic. Can’t take pics with coaches when you grinding on the court. We appreciate yall coming in to watch our kids. But we like it better watching our kids walk out with scholarships..go Warriors!
Mt Zion would like to welcome Gordon Jeter to the MZP family. Gordon will serve as our strength and conditioning coach. Gordon brings a wealth of knowledge to our program and we are excited to have him. Go Warriors!
Mt Zion starts the season with a 124-80 win over KEBA Prep out of Cincinatti, OH. We are 1-0 and will face Navy Prep tomorrow at 6:30pm at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. Go Warriors!
Jayden Saddler’s 10 rebound, 5 assist performance against Massanutten was his 7th game of the season with at least 7 rebounds/5 assists. At 6’0, Saddler is our team’s leading rebounder. Coaches, if you’re looking for a PG that plays both ends of the floor then this is your guy.
Coach Brian Scott is our co-founder , our mentor, one of our masterminds and a pillar in our huge basketball community all over the country. He is not only a leader on the court but a leader off of it. Please recognize our associate head coach

For today’s tweet we are not even going to touch on the basketball piece. Coach Rod Harrison is a leader. He is dependable and works his tail off. He is blue collar by nature. Mentally he is the strongest person you could be around. Please recognize
