🏀👑 BAYOU KINGZ VARSITY — 3 YEARS OF FAITH, FAMILY & PURPOSE 👑🏀

As our AAU season has come to an end, my heart is filled with GRATITUDE. 🙏🏽

Over the past 3 years, GOD has allowed us to accomplish more than we could have imagined:

🏆 109-22 Record
🏆 18 Championships
🥈 14 Second-Place Finishes
🔥 2 Semifinal Appearances
🎓 43 College Offers
🎓 16 Scholarships
🇺🇸 2 Team USA Appearances
⭐ 9 All-Star Players

But our greatest accomplishment isn’t found in the numbers. It’s found in the young men we’ve had the privilege to impact, encourage, mentor, and PRAY with.

To our former players, current players, parents, and community supporters, THANK YOU! Your sacrifice, trust, love, and support helped make this journey possible.

A special THANK YOU to Demarcus Patterson Sr., Director of Bayou Kingz, for trusting us and believing in our vision.

And to my twin brother, Kendric Rapp, THANK YOU for standing beside me, coaching with me, praying with me, and helping build this program. I LOVE YOU, BROTHER! ❤️🙏🏽

At Bayou Kingz, we use the word DOMINATE. But it means more than dominating on the basketball court.

🏀 DOMINATE THE COURT
📚 DOMINATE THE CLASSROOM
🏠 DOMINATE AT HOME
🙏🏽 DOMINATE YOUR FAITH
💯 DOMINATE EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE

Basketball is our platform, but CHRIST is our purpose. ✝️

We use this game as a ministry to bring young men closer to GOD, teach them discipline, build character, and help them discover their purpose.

A TEAM THAT PRAYS TOGETHER, PLAYS TOGETHER. 🙏🏽🏀

To our players heading to college to play sports, DOMINATE! To those who chose to focus strictly on their education, DOMINATE! Your future is bigger than basketball.

And to our Juniors and Seniors heading into another high school season: DOMINATE on the court, DOMINATE in the classroom, and keep GOD first.

We thank GOD for every door HE opened, every obstacle HE helped us overcome, every championship, every opportunity, and every life we’ve been blessed to touch.

The wins will become memories. The championships will collect dust. But the lives we impacted and the young men we helped develop will

🏀 BAYOU KINGZ FAMILY CELEBRATES ANOTHER COLLEGE SIGNEE! 🏀

Congratulations to Bayou Kingz Marcus Dunn on signing to continue his academic and athletic career at Millsaps College! 💜⚔️

This moment is about so much more than putting pen to paper. It is a testimony of perseverance, resilience, and unwavering FAITH.

MJ Dunn’s journey wasn’t always easy. He battled through lingering injuries, faced adversity that could have caused him to quit, and endured countless days of pain, setbacks, and uncertainty. Yet, through it all, he never lost sight of the vision GOD placed in his heart. He continued to work, trust the process, and believe that GOD still had a purpose for his life.

Today is proof that delays are not denials. GOD’s timing is always perfect.

As coaches, we couldn’t be more proud of the young man Marcus has become. We’ve watched him grow not only as a player but as a person of character, humility, and determination. His work ethic, perseverance, and commitment to becoming better every day have opened the door to this incredible opportunity.

Marcus, always remember that sports is a platform, but your purpose is much greater than the game. Continue to honor GOD in everything you do, represent your family, your teammates, Bayou Kingz Basketball, and Millsaps College with integrity, and never stop chasing the purpose HE has for your life.

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7

And never forget:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

GOD has brought you this far for a reason, and we believe your best days are still ahead. Continue to trust HIM, keep your faith strong, and walk confidently in the purpose HE has prepared for you.

Congratulations again, Marcus Dunn! We are incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to watch all that GOD has in store for you at Millsaps College.

🏀✍️ BAYOU KINGZ COLLEGE SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENT ✍️🏀

Congratulations to Jermichael Millien on signing to continue his academic and athletic career at East Mississippi Community College!

What an incredible testimony of GOD’s faithfulness!

Jermichael’s journey is one of perseverance, resilience, and unwavering FAITH. After suffering an injury that caused him to miss his entire junior season of high school, many people would have questioned if they would ever return to the court at the same level. But GOD had a different plan.

Through countless hours of rehabilitation, determination, hard work, and trusting in the LORD, Jermichael came back stronger than ever during his senior season. His story is proof that setbacks are often GOD’s setup for something even greater.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge HIM, and HE shall direct thy paths.” — Proverbs 3:5-6

As your Bayou Kingz coaches, we couldn’t be more proud of the young man you have become. Your character, work ethic, perseverance, and FAITH have been just as impressive as your ability on the basketball court. You never allowed adversity to define you, you allowed it to develop you.

This signing is more than just an opportunity to play college sports. It is the reward for years of sacrifice, dedication, and trusting GOD’s timing. Your Bayou Kingz FAMILY has been blessed to be part of your journey, and we know this is only the beginning of what the LORD has planned for your life.

Continue to stay humble, keep GOD first in everything you do, work hard every single day, and represent your family, your community, East Mississippi Community College, and the Bayou Kingz with pride and integrity.

Congratulations, Jermichael! We LOVE YOU, we believe in you, and we can’t wait to watch you accomplish great things at the next level.

👑 BAYOU KINGZ Varsity Basketball 🏀

We would like to take a moment to reflect on the past 2½ years and express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey.

📊 Team Record: 84-15
🔥 84.5% Winning Percentage
🏆 14 Championships
🥈 14 Runner-Up Finishes
🏀 1 Semifinal Appearance

To all of our current and former Bayou Kingz players, thank you. We have been truly blessed to coach some outstanding young men who have represented our program with character, passion, resilience, and determination. Watching each of you grow as athletes, students, leaders, and young men has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives.

A special thank you also goes to Demarcus Patterson for trusting and believing in us to coach, lead, guide, and mentor these young men. Your confidence in our vision and commitment to player development helped lay the foundation for what Bayou Kingz has become today. We are grateful for your support, partnership, and dedication to creating opportunities for these athletes both on and off the court. Your belief in the program and the young men we serve has made a lasting impact, and we sincerely appreciate the role you have played in helping build this family-oriented culture of faith, accountability, hard work, and excellence. 💚💛🏀👑

A special thank you also goes out to the parents and families who have supported this program from day one. None of this would have happened without the long drives, long weekends, hotel stays, early mornings, late nights, and countless hours spent away from family in support of these amazing athletes. Your sacrifices, encouragement, and unwavering commitment have helped make Bayou Kingz what it is today.

Most importantly, we give all glory, honor, and praise to GOD.

Thank you to every player who has worn the Bayou Kingz jersey, every parent who trusted us with their son, every coach who volunteered their time, and every supporter who cheered us on along the way.

💚💛 Countless memories. Endless gratitude. All Glory to GOD. 💚💛

A huge congratulations to Coach Evan Rapp, Coach K (Kaven Taylor), and Coach Mylez Hebert on coaching their very first high school basketball game, and earning their first victory! 🏀🎉

You three did an outstanding job working together while representing St. Amant Boys Basketball with pride, honor, professionalism, and class. It was inspiring to watch you give back to your alma mater, the same program where each of you competed for four years before proudly graduating with the Class of 2026. 👨🏽‍🎓🎓

The wisdom, knowledge, discipline, and experience you gained under the leadership of the St. Amant Boys Basketball coaching staff prepared you for this moment. It was evident in the way you communicated, taught the game, encouraged your players, and carried yourselves on the sidelines.

A special thank you to Coach Travis Uzee, Coach Jeremy McInnis, Coach Rashaun Claiborne Sr., and Coach Trace Forbes for believing in these young men and trusting them with the opportunity to coach their very first high school basketball game. Your willingness to mentor and invest in the next generation of coaches speaks volumes about the culture you have built within the St. Amant basketball program.

On a personal note, thank you for making Evan Rapp’s dream of becoming a basketball coach come true far sooner than he could have ever imagined, less than a month after graduating high school. That opportunity is a BLESSING that he will never forget, and it marks the beginning of what I believe will be an incredible journey.

This is what it’s all about, former players returning to serve, mentor, and pour into the next generation. The future of St. Amant Boys Basketball is bright because of leaders like these.

Congratulations, Coaches! This is only the beginning. 🖤💛🏀
