What A Ride


What a ride this season has been!!!   We are the second youngest team in nation and we introduced our “newbies” to college basketball by skipping the proverbial frying pan and throwing them directly into the fire.   We have played an unbelievably tough schedule.  Our competition was over the top and that is our style. --we played the best to get better. Unfortunately, our reality is that there is little or no tangible reward for our efforts, except more challenging games and more of hours travelling.   It has been tough.

Our team never gave up and continued to work hard in the belief that they were good, but needed time to grow, and grow they did.  Not to fruition, but to a very competitive level of play.   They compete and fight and they don’t back down.

We are only a short distance along our journey to becoming a great team.  There will be bumps in the road and that goes with the territory, but as long as the players continue to work hard and persevere they will be fine. 

Most importantly they are fun to watch.  There is NOTHING like fun basketball to put a smile on anyone’s face and we are all smiling because our best basketball is yet to come.

Until next time,

Chris
