Weekly Update - August 30 (Aug 30, 2018)

August 30, 2018

Yo! Adrienne!

Our speaker on Thursday the 30th was

Brandon Dunson, UNR Asst. Men's Basketball Coach. Brandon coached most recently at Stanford, and has been in the coaching profession for quite some time. He shared prospects for the team this year (they freely profess the goal is the Sweet 16!) and also talked about each of the players and their amazing work ethic. All seniors on the team are set to graduate this year, too! Coach Dunson was candid and inspiring, so Jonnie Pullman bought an inspiration square in his name. (Thank you Justin Taylor for help with the pictures)
