AMAZING!

With only two weeks left in the regular season, I am amazed at how far this team has come. We started the season poorly - really struggling and were 4-5 at Christmas time. At that point we "started over" and were determined to just get better every day. That focus has paid off and although we haven't always played great, we have come out on the better side of the score! We are currently 16-5. We've handled some adversity, and I know we'll handle more as we go. We have really tough games ahead of us to finish the season, but we will take them one game at a time and stay focused on making sure we are better than the day before. The improvement in our team has been amazing, and the improvement in the play of some of our players has also been amazing. It's great to see players getting better both individually as well as collectively. The leadership of our seniors has also been better and better every day and I know they can handle and lead us through whatever comes our way. Our assistant coaches have also done a fantastic job of teaching on the court, talking with players off the court, and just making my job easier. They are extremely knowledgeable about basketball, and even more importantly work great with people. I am very blessed with the people I get to share this journey with - players, coaches and staff. Now we'll see if we can get better tomorrow!!
