Earned my 100th win as a head baseball coach today with a win over Fort Madison. Thank you to all the players, assistant coaches, and families that have supported the programs I’ve been lucky enough to lead at both BGM and Davenport Central. They are the reason for our success.

Former Davenport Central business student and current @TippieIowa student @AndrewHutch38 spoke to our high school business students last week. His presentation featured several pieces of solid advice for students planning to enroll in college next fall. Thanks Andrew!
