I still remember the day that Herb my grade 9 health teacher talked me into playing on the basketball team. I was adamant that I did not want to play, but he got one of the basketball players in my homeroom to persuade me to play on the team. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Herb was a father figure to many of the players who did not have fathers around, myself included. He instilled in us the values of unity, accountability, trust and respect. We all are still lifelong friends. Herb, to this day, was one of the best coaches I have ever had and we went on to win back to back High School City Championships at BEAL High School in 1968 and 1969. Herb took us on a journey of personal growth towards the best version of ourselves. Forever Grateful Coach, Frank McKay.
