Coach Darrel Melvin,
Thank you for your over 20 years of outstanding service and dedication to basketball at Clarkton School of Discovery! We have sincere gratitude for the assistance, guidance, and outstanding leadership you’ve provided to this school and its student athletes for so many years.

You have set an example to be followed in the future and one that will forever be remembered by those that were fortunate enough to have experienced it for themselves.

We are forever grateful for your humor, your creativity, your insights, your wisdom and your guidance.

You brought fun and challenge to practice and our daily lives!

You often say “It is a simple game, but a simple man cannot play it”! Thank you for making us think about how to be better basketball players and young men. You call us “Gentlemen” and teach us how to become one. You teach us pride in wearing a Clarkton uniform.

It is with great honor that we present this signed basketball from the 2014-2015 Clarkton School of Discovery basketball team to commemorate your last home game.

You are and forever will be—A Blue Devil!
