A win is a win. We are struggling right now; our worst enemy is ourselves. |
His right eye is goopy. |
I have learned invaluable leadership skills along the way, and have made lifelong friends, not only from Charles City, but across the nation. |
It could be nothing, but he is my first child, so I am a little paranoid. |
It could have scored 20 points in the first quarter if we wanted to easily. But this school is here to challenge kids, and my respect goes to them. We want to be merciful but play hard and understand there are more important things than killing another team. |
Really this game was learning patience and grace. The school we played [Briarwood] comes out game after game and never hangs their head. Our girls really understand that it doesn't matter if it was 102-8. Grace and mercy come into play, and that's what I love about coaching at this school is that the kids know that. |
Teams have to plan their defense around her. She's just a great athlete. When she's on the court we flow. The key for her is to play aggressive and play smart. This could be her last high school game. She's been the true leader of our team this year. |
The biggest thing we have to do is not give up and play from start to finish. Regardless if they get up on us, we have to stay in the game and fight until the end. |
The family realizes that law enforcement is doing their job and are limited in manpower. |
The monkey is off our back. We have been struggling for three games. This is our first home game in a long time. The girls were excited to play at home. They came out and played Cougar basketball. They have been trying hard. |
They are doing everything I ask them to. We just have to start clicking. |
They hit the boards. For the first time all year we lit it up from the outside, which was really good to see. Defensively, we shut down their two main players. We came into the game prepared and ready for them. |
We don't care who scores. When somebody is on, that's who gets the ball. We are very unselfish as a team. Everybody has their role. |
We want to focus on Danielle, we want to bring Danielle home, |
We worked out some stuff; we would fast break and have to pass it around and get about 20 passes in. The entire team got some experience and scored today. We really worked hard on that zone defense. |
