The Pikes have been involved with Judge for a long time. Coach Pike has been at Judge since 2001. His son Parker graduated from Judge, and is an assistant coach. Daughter Kasie is also an assistant coach. And daughter Klowie is a senior and captain of the team. His wife helps at the official’s table.

“My family being all around me with Casie being the JV coach, and Parker being another assistant, and my mom has a scoreboard, it’s intense.” Klowie said. “They’re all 10 times harder on me than any other person on the team. It’s mentally exhausting sometimes, but again, it’s something I’m forever grateful for because I wouldn’t be the athlete I am without it.”

I’m a big family man,” Coach Pike said. “I was raised about being rich with family and friends more than money, so being part of this community and having been able to have my kids and my wife participate in what I do here is priceless.”
