Chad said, “I first want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing me to be the exact person that he called for me to be. I thank my mother for the constant, every day belief in me. I thank my dad, step-mother, church and other family and friends who continued to support me even when the team was having a rough year. Lastly, I thank my amazing coaches over the years: Coach Williams, Coach Isaiah Gates, Coach Mike Gates, Coach Branch, Coach Clingman and so many others.”
