KINDERGARTEN COURT — It might be hard for a high schooler to take instructions from a pre-schooler, but it helps when that five-year-old is as locked in and passionate as Christopher Bess.
The North Carolina native is going viral this year for clips showing Bess grabbing the clipboard during timeouts and hyping up the Tarboro High School boys' basketball team, which his father, Reginald, is the head coach of.
Congrats Youth Coach Of The Year Coach Christopher Bess 👏
