for all my friends on here that might be curious, we almost became first team in State history (larger classifications) to win 3 straight state titles ...
we werent picked as a fave this year but battled thru 2 loser out games in districts, one extremely tight game vs top foe, and then won three straight in state vs higher ranked teams, including 25-0 #1 ranked team (which we beat 63-40) but in the final 7' Spencer Hawes's team proved too much and tho we had 2 tying shots late, we had hit the wall and lost in finale ..
i told the kids afterward that coming in 2nd is sometimes more remarkable than winning it all as they bawled their eyes out--thats the hard thing as a coach or parent, not being able to fix that pain ..
juxtaposed with two of our coaches suffering deaths in their family (a father and wife) during the year and two of my good pals having tragedy strike them, it was a year of many thanks in other ways and spiritual awakening to not only myself but i think our entire team...
Life is a long strange trip as Garcia said ...
thanx for all the support many of you have given me thru the years ...
take care,
gregg
