AS MIKE WALKER STOOD ON THE SIDE OF THE FIELD WATCHING THE SECOND BAPTIST SCHOOL JUNIOR VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM FACE OFF AGAINST KINKAID, A THOUGHT CROSSED HIS MIND. As the Director of Athletics for Second Baptist School, Walker, like many, had to quickly pivot his athletic department from in-person, on-campus teaching to being fully online. "I evaluated where we are, mapped out where we need to be and talked through these strategies with coaches," Walker said. "I am really excited about the future of SBS Athletics.

IT IS A MOMENT THAT SECOND BAPTIST SCHOOL MENS BASKETBALL COACH KEVIN MOUTON COULDN' T COMPARE TO ANYTHING HE'S ACCOMPLISHED IN HIS MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF COACHING.

Throughout the process, Mouton had his family supporting him, and his Second Baptist School family stepped up big by giving him rides to chemo and radiation treatments and even cooking meals. On this Monday afternoon, Kevin walked into the secondary gym at Second Baptist School.

The recent University of Northwestern at St. Paul graduate who was engaged when arriving was named the head baseball coach at Second Baptist School and on the staff for the first football season.

During Herndon's emotional post-game speech, he and other coaches touched on the fact of the young girls at Second Baptist School looking up to them. As the seniors walk away, their goal is that what they have done and the example they have been to every young girl at Second Baptist School pays off years down the road for the program. "We want Second Baptist School to be a girls' basketball powerhouse," Ryan said.
