“I’ve been coaching basketball, in some capacity, for nearly 20 years. It is a game I love and a game that has meant so much to me throughout my life. When I stepped into the conversation about the head boy’s basketball coach at Bishop Chatard and learned there was an opportunity to positively affect the experience of the basketball players in the program, I jumped at the chance,” said Boling. “I am excited to continue using my love of the game to support the young men in our community on their journey towards finding what makes them successful.”
