In this episode, we sit down with Hope Preparatory Academy’s varsity basketball program, including new head coach Garland Gillette and two standout players who are making waves across Florida — two eighth graders starting on varsity, a rarity anywhere in the state.
🏀 What we cover:
• The team’s current winning streak
• Game strategies and how they prepare each week
• What really happens inside the locker room
• Coach Gillette’s vision for building a championship culture
• How two middle schoolers earned their spots on varsity
Plus, we’re joined by a special guest — Head of School Michael Randolph — who shares exciting updates and new developments happening at Hope Prep.
