John Marshall High School Athletics

This situation sucks. There is nothing more that I want than to work with you each day on becoming a better person and better ball player. It is currently out of our hands and control and therefore we need to stop worrying about it and make the most of this opportunity. The best thing I can do in this time of isolation is provide you with as much content as I can. I have added an additional platform for communication/ learning in Google Classroom. Our classroom code is: gruvims

Check out the classroom, listen to podcasts, read the material, spread the word. 

You have every opportunity to get better during this time if you make the most of it. This is not an excuse to not continue to compete. Stay active and keep your mind sharp.
