State, guiding Purvis to reach for a purpose in academics first and athletics(basketball second)…..

  1. Congratulations to Coach Gottfried.
    He has recruited a high character student/athlete.

  2. This is a fantastic story! Rodney has a great support system. I hope people will share this story to kids in elementary, middle and high schools. Most kids with a learning disability believe that college is not an option. Rodney will be an inspiration to many of the young student-athletes in this state. Thanks for sharing!

  3. It is a pleasure to see that a parent and a child have the correct view on academics and athletics. Good luck to Rodney on the pursuit of his degree.
