🗣 Patch Shout Out 🗣
Our shout out this Sunday morning is a somber one that goes out to legendary Central High School basketball coach Roosevelt Sanders, who died over the weekend. Sanders won back-to-back state championships for the Falcons in 1990 and 1991. He coached the Falcons for 22 seasons and saw the school's gym named in his honor in 2020.
