Meet Deonte Carnes

Bridging Communities, Empowering Young Minds

Let me introduce you to Deonte Carnes—a coach at FCC who's all about making a difference in the lives of our kids.

Originally from Ohio, Deonte found himself moving here when he was young. It wasn’t easy at first, but he found his people, his community, right here.

For the past two years, he's been coaching our kids, and boy, does he love it! "The environment here is amazing," he says with a big smile. "I can see how comfortable the kids feel, and that's when they shine their brightest on the field or court."

But coaching for Deonte isn’t just about teaching sports. It's his way of giving back to the place that welcomed him with open arms. "I'm here to give back to the community that supported me when I needed it," he says, his eyes lighting up with gratitude.

He’s not just teaching skills; he's building confidence, showing kids they can do anything they set their minds to.

Deonte’s story is proof that when a community comes together, incredible things happen. He's creating a safe space where kids grow, learn, and become the best version of themselves.

Let's cheer for Deonte and his inspiring journey. He's not just coaching—it’s a whole lot more. He's shaping our community's future, one game and one smile at a time.
