Kevin Dalafu (Head Coach) – “With most of his freshman year robbed from him due to Covid, it is amazing to see what Ronnie has accomplished. Working with him daily, sometimes it's moments like this that put into perspective how great a student-athlete Ronnie is overall,” said Kevin Dalafu, the team’s head coach.

“Every year at KCS we see continued growth in Ronnie as a basketball player, and as a young man of God. Not only have I worked with Ronnie as an athlete, but also as a student in the classroom. He is gifted in both the classroom and the court, and he is an example to many students at Kings Christian,” added the team’s athletic director, Todd Martin.
