Happy Retirement Coach Bancks!

Head Coach Jerry Bancks announced his retirement, read an excellent article written by the Bulletin's Taylor Rocca.

Every time I have been at the awards banquet, you can't help but see how much he cares about the players as human beings - becoming future husbands, fathers, and contributors to society.

During this last awards banquet, while not officially a retirement announcement, it felt like it for Bancks.

Hugs from Busch, after Bancks shared the story of how he supported a home-sick Busch during his first year with the team.

Hugs from Richter. Richter, as well as other players, lives have been impacted and guided by Bancks.

It was all capped off with a standing ovation (that he was surprised to receive) from everyone in attendance. He has done a lot, not just for the players, but for the community of Kimberley as well.
