Rainier Beach Head Coach Mike Bethea on New Gym That Honors His Name
RAINIER BEACH - "My name just happens to be the name up there, but it represents everybody who put in that fight to get the school, to get that gym."
These are the words of Coach Michael S. Bethea, before tomorrow's dedications of the Michael S. Bethea Athletics Complex, the Jamal Crawford Basketball Court, and the Betty Patu Library at Rainier Beach High School.
His sentiments go beyond personal recognition. He spoke of those who have passed, emphasizing the community effort and impact of all these new facilities. He also recalled the excitement and joy felt when seeing the completed gym with Jamal Crawford. #WWComverge #BlackMediaMatters
Congratulations, Coach Bethea! This honor is well deserved for you, Jamal Crawford, and Betty Patu. Build The Beach, For Us, By Us.
