“I haven’t talked specifically to him, but kind of in our family group chat, they were talking about it, saying that Ace handled his business and now it’s my turn to handle business. But yeah, just proud of him.

“He got, you know, three state championships in three different states through his high school career. So, that’s pretty cool.”
