Coach Herting on Copeland
"Garret has brought so much to the BV basketball program. In addition to being a link to the past, he does an outstanding job working with kids in the off-season. His demeanor and rapport with the kids during 'crunch time' of a game is awesome. Just like Scott (Guttery) and Greg (Coleman, Jr), Garret will soon take over his own program and do a fantastic job."
