In our latest tournament we beat the Garner flames 13 U Garner Flames
53-40. This was a hard fought game that we refused to lose even with a foul
count of 12 to 1 in the second half. In spite of that help we were able to use
good teamwork, passing, and defense to win that ball game. In our second game
of the tournament we faced a Hoops City Heat showcase team in their 2nd
game. These were girls from 4 different teams combined to make a very tall and
talented group. We won this game 43-40 in a nail biter. Truly,
a team effort against a much larger team. Two of their girls were over
6-2 and our tallest player is ~5-7. Remarkable effort and play by our team.
Finally in the first game we played a team from Chapel Hill
that had beaten us by 2 points in Greensboro.
In this game they were missing their talented tall center. We took care of
business and won 47-19. This gave us our 4th championship in 7
tournaments. We played above our age
group in three of those tournaments losing in two of them.
A leader is an unselfish person who
always puts his team ahead of individual glory, goes and does the extra things
like talking to a young teammate and getting him straightened out, passing on
experiences. Joe Torre, New
York Yankees
Manager

John, Melvin, and I, as coaches set the standard and will not accept anything
else. If we lower our expectations, so will you. This will ultimately lower the
integrity of the program in the eyes of our families and our community.
Finally, you must develop positive mental skills. Confidence is important
and is developed from working hard (really hard, not just sort of hard) and
choosing to think positive, helpful thoughts. Jim Valvano
Always said NEVER GIVE UP!
Control what you can control then work around what you cannot control.
(Note: You can
control only two things your attitude and your actions.) You
cannot control the official, the weather, the opponent, your
parents yelling from the bleachers, your coaches and their substitution choices.
Read these often to remind ourselves of their importance.
Coach, Fatdaddy
