Four Corner Basketball was established in 1998 by Earnest Izzo. The Club took awhile to get going. Four Corners sadly had losing seasons in all seasons from 1998-2007. In 2007 the league hired, their most successful coach, Christopher Dolan. Who coached the Women's team from 2007-2010. And Coached one season for a public school winning a 4A State Championship. He refused to recruit talent around the 4 corners area. Izzo admits "I was ready to fire him when he told me we can build up with hard work, good character and values, I wasn't ready to lose my club because of character. But he was Right and I respect him for it coaches don't talk like that any more" His teams held a 80-16 during his tenure. He won two championships in back to back seasons. Most remarkably during his first year he lost two games, with no Division 1 or 2 talent. The only loss came in the Championship game to one of the top AAU teams in the Country. Dolan cut all Seniors and only had few Juniors going into his 2nd season as Head Coach. Dolan turned 4 corners into the most popular club team in the Four Corner area. His teams began to beat the top AAU teams in the country with inferior talent. This popularity began a college network, meeting the Mission of the Club. Many Divsion 1 and 2 College coaches came to watch 4 Corner games and sit in on Dolan's practices. His Practices help shape poor players into really good ones, by the second year many girls who were unknown earned full ride scholarships. Area collegiate coaches enjoyed his practices and finding the underground talent. Four Corners became known as "Diamond in the rough club" The team is now Coached By Mike Alford and has a record of 40-56 record. MIke has been Coaching since 2010. Ernest Izzo sold his club franchise in May of 2013. Four Corners is now being run by Cy-fair. Dolan was offered a position in May of 2013 as Head Coach for Cy-fair but turned it down. Texas Express Coaches can make 60,000  to 100,000 a year. Texas Express is still in the Hiring process. Ernest is now retired from basketball.
