As you know, the boys were defeated in Houston last Friday night by the Eagles of Texas Christian School. It was a hard fought game and your Warriors hung in for the first two quarters. Unfortunately, our opponents were too much in the end and we lost 94 to 69. It was a great learning experience for us all!
I was most pleased by the fact that we never quit. From start to finish, we played with our whole hearts, and for that, I am very proud of our young men. I had a coach tell me once that you can probably learn more from a loss than you can from a win. While that might be true, it is hard to know or measure the lessons learned from a loss until you are far enough removed from it to see clearly. My hope is that these young men will leave my team with the "stuff" they will need to succeed in life. By the looks of how they handled themselves on the court Friday night, and immediately after the game, they are well on their way! In spite of the loss, the character they demonstrated after the game is what makes me most proud. Apparently, Warrior pride is alive and well!

Way to go Warriors! Amy and I didn't get to see many games this season, but we are hooked after our first game. Good job making the playoffs, and can't wait until next season!
