Can't help but think about Senior Linebacker and basketball player Andrew Medley & his Mom as they headed to surgery this morning for a kidney transplant. Hoping both donor & recipient get through without incident. Thoughts & Prayers!
Sometimes being a leader is understanding that there are times we must have confidence in those that lead us, and ensure we are all doing our part to support them. Sport is the greatest teacher of that-it's time for us all to demonstrate what we've learned.

1–Those not invested said we had nothing to play for. We had 3 reasons to play: our passion for football, our passion for each other, & our pride in our school and its culture.
While we are sad that we are unable to play our rivals this week, we are mindful that this is because of conditions beyond any of our control. We wish anyone sick a speedy and full recovery.
We look forward to competing again very soon!
Very proud coach tonight. Attended my first Eagle Scout Ceremony. Watched a current player,Tas Stoetzner,achieve the pinnacle in that organization. Then received the unexpected honor of being bestowed the Eagle Scout Mentor pin. I am humbled by that & the accomplishments of Tas!
Last night's Pink out was my first & it was awe inspiring! Blessed to be part of such a great caring community! Also, great dominant performance by the girls team and a resilient one by the boys -- last night was a win/win for Jen1son!!
I am grateful for the opportunity to work with some of the best HS talent nationwide at the National Combine at the All-American game in SanAntonio. Thx to
@FBUcamp
@NBCSports
&
@adidasfootball
For allowing me to represent
@Jen1sonFootball
at this first class event!
2–the result was two weeks of shutout football, 76-0. Those not invested would demean that & that is their right. our culture is being built game by game / player by player & this Senior class gave everything they had for
@Jen1sonFootball
— thank you seems so inadequate.
I congratulate every graduate of 2020! You have endured things no other graduate has ever endured!! Go forward and change the world! We need you your leadership!!
When adversity strikes, we have a choice to listen to those that are neg or those that inspire—choose those that inspire. I have full faith in my community leaders, b/c ultimately they care.
@GovWhitmer
@tenbrinktweets
@bgrahamJPS
we are blessed to have a collection that care!
I appreciate the dedication of our football staff -- one assistant presented at an elementary school, special teams meeting, assistants involved in baseball & lacrosse, helping out in the weight room after school. All in a days work for them.
Nothing like being on campus and listening to a championship band
@jenisonbands
prepare for the first game some 55 hours from now! The electricity is palpable!!
It's sad to watch my home town go through what they are going through. it comes down to the 3 do's: Do What is right / Do for others / Do your best. This cannot be our best. We have to treat our neighbors, brothers & sisters, team mates better. We have to help b/c we can, L'ville
Thanks

Cool to have
@CatPackNation
stick around for our buses and celebrate the win with our players!!! Gotta love the community we play & fight for!!!
THANK YOU!!! We are grateful for the support!!
Everyone has an ego. What football teaches you is how to put it in your back pocket & concern yourself with the Team instead! When your stars do that, you have a special team.
Educators across our district are back in the first PD prepping for the school year. Flexibility & Adaptation is the message of the day. Our faculty is pushing forward & proud to be part of such a collaborative group!
Big day for HS Football players. A great event at Celebration North for W.MI players. Truly unique and special.Thx to

Community.
Thoughts are with the Federal workers hard-shipped by political stupidity. Not interested in fault, more interested in leadership. Washington seems devoid of it. Let our children learn from this & not repeat the lack of leadership on full display.
Thank you to all those that have worn the uniform of our Armed Forces in defense of our country and it’s principles. Today, I cast a ballot in a free and fair election b/c of you. My endless gratitude!
Loved our approach to practice tonight!! More and more, we handle the mental adversity thrown at us!! We look more and more

Andrew has made a difference in me -- he is a great ambassador of
@Jen1sonFootball
and our school district. He has tackled this adversity with grit and with grace. He has a very successful future ahead of him!
Commitment — like my daughter’s physics teacher zooming tonight for the past hour plus prepping kids for the AP test, one final review. Thank you Jen1son!

shared his thoughts on the conversation around Tom Izzo yelling at one of his players.
Praying for our neighbors—those in Jen1son, those in Grand Rapids, and those on the East Side! Hang in there, Detroit!! You guys will get through this!!

good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more
bewildering than outright rejection." Dr. Martin Luther King Those words never rang more true than in today's society
@Jtownfootballer
When young people give of themselves for others--servant leadership--that is the epitome of team. I don't know how things will turn out this fall, but if character counts we sure have a chance! Great job today, guys!!

Can’t wait to have you guys join us on the JRHigh/HS campus next fall!

There are life's lessons to be learned all around you. Take the time to pay attention & grow as person so that today you are better than yesterday. BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOU.
