Coach Dwight Harris speaks to SGTC Jets

Coach Dwight Harris of the Dwight Harris Boys Club recently visited the Americus campus of South Georgia Technical College to speak to SGTC’s Jets men’s basketball team to help prepare them mentally for their season. He talked with the players about responsibility, being focused and organized, and how to distinguish between the ways boys and men act. The Dwight Harris Boys Club was founded in 2009, and its vision is to make sure young males learn the three aspects of manhood: spiritual, mental, and physical. The Jets are currently 2-3 for the season, and they are scheduled to play at home in the Hangar at 4 p.m. on Friday, November 25th against St. Petersburg College and then at 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 26th at 4 p.m. against the College of Central Florida.
