“I just wanted to say thank you for everything and being the outlet for the short amount of time I was playing for KING Hoops. This was the first basketball program that gave study hall and actually cared about the growth for the players. The coaches have given me a new found courage in myself I thought I’d never have. My heart will forever stay with KING Hoops. The time y’all put into this program was not for no reason because me and the rest of the senior class will grow and we will give back to this program. Also personally thanks for taking care of me and my brother”
