Broward County Commissioner Hazelle Rodgers, who will be presenting the award to Coach Mills, described him in a Facebook post as “a true legend in the world of athletics,” noting his achievements in coaching Olympic and World Championship medalists, setting records, and earning prestigious honors.

He was later assigned coaching responsibilities by Head Coach Henry McDonald Messam who noticed Mills’ potential. Mills eventually became an integral part of the Camperdown High School coaching staff. A change in leadership initially displaced him, however the support of his athletes led to his successful reinstatement.
Five Decades of Dedication

This includes the legendary Usain Bolt, who holds multiple World and Olympic records, Yohan Blake, who became the youngest 100m World Champion, Kim Collins, Raymond Stewart. Presently, Mills coaches promising Jamaican sprinter Oblique Seville and the seasoned athlete Zharnell Hughes.
A Technical Emphasis on Coaching
Mills adopts a highly technical approach to coaching, meticulously scrutinizing race photographs for nuances and intricacies. He balances this with a profound understanding of the psychological aspects of each athlete. His coaching philosophy extends beyond speed, aiming to mold well-rounded individuals rather than mere “speed machines.”

The decade 1990 – 1999 in Jamaica was a remarkable period characterized by both resilience and a vibrant cultural resurgence. This decade followed the devastating impact of Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, and the island was bouncing back with newfound determination. For anyone who attended school in Jamaica during this time, the memory of the Reggae Boyz making their World Cup debut in France in 1998 was a moment that resonated with national pride, uniting the entire island. And speaking of unmistakable signs that you were a student in Jamaica between 1990 and 1999, here are some nostalgic cues of that time period.
You Know How to “Roll Your Socks Down Right”
The 90s saw a trend where school kids would roll down their socks in a specific manner – not too low, not too high. It was the unspoken dress code, a subtle rebellion while still looking neat for school inspectors.
You Are Probably the Biggest JCDC Fan
JCDC Festival of the Performing Arts was a significant cultural event showcasing the talents of school children on the island. Originating as the Jamaica Independence Festival in the 1960s, it was rebranded as JCDC in 1987. By the 1990s, it had gained immense popularity, and your standing in school might have been influenced by how you fared in this competition.
You Knew What the Real Cost for a Patty Should Be
Back in the 90s, a savory patty was only Jamaican $40 and a small chubby drink was priced at a mere $10. Those were the days when these treats were pocket-friendly for school kids.
You Probably Met the Queen of England
In 1994, Queen Elizabeth II made one of her six visits to Jamaica, and she engaged with numerous school children. If you were in school during that time, there’s a chance you might have seen or even met the Queen.
You Know Skyjuice (the drink)
Skyjuice was the stuff of legends. Essentially, it was frozen Quench Aid or Kool-Aid mixed into small poly bags, and served with a straw; a perfect treat on a hot day.
Bonus: If you never rocked a Jansport backpack, you were totally missing out on the next level of cool.
If you went to school in Jamaica back in the 90’s, taking a trip down memory lane is bound to put a big smile on your face! Every decade has its unique vibe, but for 90’s Jamaican students, these memories are like a sweet nostalgia wave washing over them.
Guyana Amazon Warriors will contest the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) final after a convincing 81-run victory over the Jamaica Tallawahs in Qualifier two.
The Tallawahs won the toss and opted to field first, and they produced a disciplined bowling performance to ensure the Amazon Warriors were restricted to 182/6. Azam Khan produced the star knock in the Amazon Warriors innings, his 54 at the back end propelling Guyana to a competitive total.
The chase would always be a steep one for the Tallawahs, and that equation became all the harder when they lost four wickets in the PowerPlay.
It was a position they never recovered from, eventually succumbing to 101 all out.
The Amazon Warriors made a solid start in their batting PowerPlay, reaching 49 for the loss of one wicket. It could have been two, but for the faintest of inside edges that saved Shai Hope from being dismissed lbw.
However, Saim Ayub departed for 20 immediately following the end of the PowerPlay, his miscued shot only finding Alex Hales at long-on.
Hope and Shimron Hetmyer struggled to add some attacking impetus to the innings but just when it seemed they were ready to accelerate, Hope was caught on the boundary for 40.
Hetmyer followed shortly afterwards for 31 – but Romario Shepherd and Azam Khan cashed in at the back end. Khan smashed a brutal 54 runs off 27 balls to give the Amazon Warriors momentum heading into the second half of the game.
If the Tallawahs were to chase the 183 to win, they needed a lightning start in the PowerPlay, but they got the opposite of that.
Four wickets fell in the first six overs, and the procession continued after the fielding restrictions had been lifted.
All the Guyanese bowlers got in on the act to ensure the Tallawahs were never in the contest.
Imad Wasim added a respectable unbeaten 43, but no one stayed with him as the Tallawahs were eventually bowled out for 101.
The Amazon Warriors victory means they will now contest their sixth Republic Bank CPL final, aiming to win their first-ever title. (CPL T20)
