"Once an Athlete, always an Athlete"
I played for Dacusville Jr. High School and I was proud to be a Gold Wave, proud to wear the purple and gold. I was coached under Donna McKinney; the hardest coach out there, she didn't accept defeat. If we lost a game which was "NEVER" maybe once or twice and when we did lose we had practice after the game, she wanted Dacusville to be the best and we were.There are people that come into your life that make a lasting impact and Coach Mckinney did that for me. I wasn't always an athlete but she took a chance in me, she instilled in me the heart of an athlete.
We always started our games with "The Lord's Prayer", we circled up as a team, game ball in the middle, arms crossed and feet touching. For the ones that didn't know this, Coach Mckinney was very superstitious. She also was an intimidator, we were our own cheerleaders, "Pump it up" she would say as we turned onto the school grounds of our opponents, she wanted them to know Dacusville has rolled in and we are ready to play some ball. She loved Dacusville, she loved her team, and she believed in us.
