TEAM UPDATES - 1/24/13

Varsity

Well once again another basketball season is flying by right before our eyes. We have just finished our 1st round of district play and I couldn't be more proud of the effort this team is giving every night out. Our depth has been our stongest asset and we continue to push ourselves in every game. It seems every night someone else steps up and makes game changing plays for us. With the regular season coming to an end quickly we are starting to get primed for a tough playoff run. We see our improvement daily but we all know we have to continue to get better each time out on the floor. Please keep following this team and come to as many games as you can as we try to get to Austin this season.
Sincerely,
Coach Reed
