Central High School





After spending 5 years as a Florence Falcon I have traded my Blue for Red/Black.  Its tough and sometimes overwhelming to take over a program in the middle of the summer.  Over the past couple of weeks I have tried to begin placing my stamp on Central Basketball. 

One of the first tough decisions I faced was whether or not to conduct tryouts.  I decided due to vacations, football, church camps, etc.  we would just operate day to day with the athletes who are interested in playing next season.  We will conduct a tryout in the fall until then we will continue to improve daily.

One my goals is to make our facility as nice as possible.  I believe in taking care of your gym!  Coach Meyer's #1 rule was everybody picks up trash.  We are going to do our best to turn this into a first class organization.

The players so far have been outstanding.  They are learning everyday and adjusting to their third coach in three years.  I know that has been tough on this group of Seniors but they are going to be the first piece of the foundation that we lay during this rebuilding process.  Everyday somebody different tells me Coach Bryant you can win here football is too important....My mindset is that Central will win on the football field and then we will win on the basketball floor. 

My next step is hiring a staff.  Conducting day to day operations without a single coach 7th-12th has been tough.  There is so much teaching that has to be done.  I hope over the next couple of weeks we are able to fill some slots with people who want to apart of making Central Wildcat Basketball important again.

"Failure to Prepare is preparing to Fail."

Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together.
