V is a great coach!

Victoria loves to help coach basketball for students with physical and intellectual disabilities. She and the other coaches do a great job coaching, and the players, boys and girls, are awesome! They have all improved since the start of the season. The crowd was really great too! Overall, I love going to these games.

Danny and I both have really positive experiences with the Medford League. We had a team at Monacan, when I was in high school. I did not coach basketball, but instead helped coach the cheerleaders! I made new friends and loved how happy they were to be involved. It really helped the school to get to know these students. They were stars for these games and it helped them to be more acknowledged, valued, and included. Danny became familiar with the league when he worked at James River High School. He loved it so much and started leagues in Prince Edward, Windsor, and now Culpeper! I am so proud of my husband for helping to get the ball rolling for these leagues. The leagues include many schools, not just the schools where he has been an administrator. We really are so glad that more students are able to be involved in the Medford League. There was a great article in the local paper, the Star Exponent, about this game. It includes a few comments from Danny too.

and on the court too.
