Welcome to the 2024-2025 Boys Basketball Season
Celtics legend Larry Bird noted, “A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.” Bird’s comments speak to determination and perseverance of winners. How blessed are we at PVI to have a team of winners! The 2024-2025 season is already off to a good start. Our incredibly dedicated coaches have been busy in the offseason getting our talented team ready for an exciting year of championship basketball.
Thanks to your generous support, our student-athletes have been able to showcase their God-given talents and grow and develop as teammates and as part of the nationally-ranked PVI Basketball program. Last year’s appearances at Hoops Hall Classic and at the Chipotle Nationals in Indianapolis were opportunities not afforded many high school basketball players, and we are so appreciative. Our student-athletes and coaches are blessed to have the support of so many, including parents, grandparents, and local businesses. Your willingness to give allows them to do what they do so well. Thank you for what you do and how you support us. Please pray for our student-athletes, our coaches, and our Catholic community as we Grow in Grace and Wisdom.

MESSAGE FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Welcome to the 2024-2025 basketball season! We are very excited and proud to have Head Coach Glenn Farello and his outstanding staff leading our program again this year. We are blessed to have dedicated coaches leading our student-athletes. Coaches who teach accountability, understand and encourage academic success, and work hard to build great teams based in faith. Coaches who are “teachers” and Christian leaders with character and integrity make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children. Teaching our studentathletes to be respectful and accountable is teaching them to be successful in life. We are also very fortunate to have such a strong network of support from our alumni, boosters, parents, school staff, and our overall community. No doubt about it…PVI is truly a special place.
It is critical to recognize the value that athletics have as a part of the educational process, our mission, and our ministry. As a college-prep
school, we strive to run athletic programs that combine the right amounts of ability and desire to move to the next level in the athletic experience. A major focus of our athletic program is to help our student-athletes develop lasting life skills to use as they move on in college, in a career, as productive members of society, as husbands and wives, and as parents. When you surround a child with the gospel, discipline, integrity, and truth, you can make a difference in his or her life forever. That is the core of our mission. It is easier to build boys and girls than it is to mend men and women.
Finally, I’d like to remind all of our spectators to be “good sports.” Let the coaches coach and let the players play. Create a positive environment for all involved, a place student-athletes and parents get the most out of their experiences. One where winning isn’t the only thing. One where opponents and officials are never taunted or humiliated. An environment where the emphasis is on positive relationships and learning important life lessons through hard work, competition, and faith.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as the Director of Athletics at PVI. I am humbled by our community’s sense of togetherness. We are truly one team! #TeamPVI
GO PANTHERS!!
William H. Emerson III, RAA Director of Athletics

“To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option, and when you feel like you’ve reached your limit, it’s only the beginning, that’s when it’s time to dig deep, to find the courage to push some more.”
