Program Preview: Chi-Town Warriors
The spring is almost here! That means the Prep Hoops Circuit is just around the corner! It is time for us to start previewing the teams participating on the circuit and talking to their directors.
We caught up with Mike Jones of the Chi-Town Warriors to discuss their upcoming season! Check out what they had to say!
Why did you choose the Prep Hoops Circuit?
We chose the Prep Hoops Circuit this year because of the opportunity and the resources that’s in place to get our players some exposure and new experiences.
What is the goal of your program for 2020?
We have been in existence for quite a while now but always flew under the radar. The goal for the program is and will always be to represent the game of basketball, our families, and each other in the best ways possible. While assisting our boys to grow into men. Also, to put continuing the tradition of keeping our team name in the positive light.
What is your program’s mission each year?
Chi-Town Warrior Program Mission Statement:
We believe in the creation of inspired lives produced by the miracle of hard work. We are not frightened by the challenges of reality but believe that we can change our conception of this world and our place within it. So we work, plan, build, and dream–in that order. We believe that one must earn the right to dream. Our talent, discipline, and integrity will be our contribution to a new world. Because we believe that we can take this place, this time, and this people, and make a better place, a better time, and a better people.
