One Under the Belt!

After the snow and ice cleared, all that was left was a well deserved win on Friday night against Meyersdale. Just when you think the program is experiencing difficult times, you face a team like Meyersdale! Give credit to the Meyersdale players and staff for continuing to coach and play hard! When you experience success like our program has experienced over the last 30 years, sometimes winning is taken forgranted, until you lose a few in a row and then that hunger for victory is restored!

Well, the hunger was restored on Friday night as we beat a Meyersdale basketball team who was not very good. Yes, we should have beat a team like that by 20+ points. However, there were still some very good things done. One, Blake Henger finally stepped in to take a charge! Secondly, our press was impressive and it had nothing to do with Meyersdale's inability to handle the basketball, but it had everything to do with us playing with alot of energy and intensity and being in the right positions. It does not matter if you are playing the best team in the state or the worst team in the state, when you play with energy and you are in the right positions, good things are going to happen. The energy was great, hopefully the couple days rest paid off. Now, we must continue to improve each day and forge ahead. Continue to practice and play with poise, focus and a sense of purpose! Prepare like a Champion! Shade has no idea what they are in for! What will we improve on today?
