My name is Marques Duvall. I am currently the 3rd and 4th-grade coach partnered with Coach Darius Alexander and Coach Peter Pilcher. I have played basketball all my life, from recreation to travel hoops, later enjoying High School and Junior College.

As a coach when I think about my drive, passion, love, effervescent and genuine coaching philosophy over the past 15 years, I first credit my lovely supportive wife, two beautiful daughters Taylor and Tyler and my mini-me MJ (Marques Jr.). Then I credit parents and the children I coach for entrusting me to do what I love to do; which is positively influencing lives by building great people, students, and athletes.

For the past four years, I have been blessed to be father and coach to my son. My first coaching opportunity began 14 years ago for an all-girls middle school basketball team where I led them from a losing record to a playoff team. Since then to present, I have led youth ministries, coached basketball camps, coached recreational youth basketball, and trained individual kids. I am honored that you have allowed us to coach your children; we welcome you to the NW Thunder Hoops family and thank you for your support. GO Thunder!!!
