Seniors have one last chance. You don't realize what you've lost until it's gone, then it's to late and all thats left are memories and a lot of "I wish I woulda..." Juniors and Sophs this is you in the blink of an eye. I too remember the late practices and the determination the kids had, fighting (literally fighting) for a spot to be on a championship team. Memories are all you'll have left and it's your choice of what type of memories. I still run across pictures of those teams (check the trophy cases out in front of the gym Boys and Girls SECTIONAL champs!!) and the long trips and many hard fought victories they gave us. It's fun to see the awe and respect on the faces of your opponents when you are warming up, but these are things you earn. Saturday you all have a chance to make a huge statement about the future of this program and to bring home some very prized hardware. Are you ready to step up? How rapidly it all passes!
