HSSTM: First, let’s start with the fact that you coach cross-country, spring track and the girls’ varsity basketball team. Do you have a favorite sport to coach?
Myer: My favorite sport to coach is definitely basketball. It is much more intense because of my involvement in practices as well as in games. I do enjoy coaching the running sports, but basketball is my favorite sport to coach, play, and... More
