Brian Reese's roots show
Posted Dec 27, 2006
During a recent junior varsity boys' basketball game against Kannapolis Brown, a ball squirted loose near a few Indian Trail Porter Ridge players. Without hesitating, several of them dove for it. That must have pleased their coach. Talent made that coach, Brian Reese, a solid basketball player. Discipline, hustle and teamwork made him a national champion at North Carolina. Those attributes drive Reese, who seeks to instill them in young players in his new career.
