I was so shock to learn that another angel whom touch so many in the community had been called hom. Mr. Potts AKA Coach Potts to me and my family was truly a warrior and always spoke positive word into the players life my son is 17 now he was 7 when he first met and begin to learn the sport of basketball. Coach Potts alway told him keep it up man you going somewhere! still saying the same thing last year as we played against Callaway last year. Positive people with love for the kids are hard to find. R.I.P Coach

My thoughts and prayers are with all you leave behind
