"I chose to coach at Brewton-Parker because of their views: discipleship is first. Being a coach is not only about your sport. Understanding and mentoring your athletes also goes into being a coach. Watching them grow on and off the court, and helping them reach a high potential is important. I want to help them understand that they have been given a platform with their sport to glorify God. I’m looking forward to the growth of the school. There are so many plans for growth and things that are happening. I am excited to be on the forefront of the expansion," said Coach Rose.
