direction helped march
The march helped me with my sense of direction. It showed me I'm not in this alone.
banner beginning district finish goal guys season seed since solid strong
These guys had a goal since the beginning of the season to get a banner in the gym. We still have the district tournament, but we know if we finish strong we should get a solid seed in state.
guys playing trusting
The guys started trusting each other more. We started playing as a team.
attitude games guys last mind nobody people played playing respects role seed thinks underdog won
The guys have played with the attitude (that) nobody really respects them and nobody really thinks they can win. We don't mind playing the underdog role and I think there's a lot of people that thought we were the underdog at the 4 seed and we shouldn't have been seeded fourth, and that's fine. Those are people's opinions, but we've won 16 of our last 18 games right now and we're just on a roll.

A more appropriate label would be Shiner Lager,

I think they might have some more to come yet. You never know, do you?

It's been a sad day. There have been a lot of tears and hugs.
focused loving
It's been a real blast. We're loving (this trip), but we're focused on a goal.
break designed finish major mentally move people second twice
It's a move designed to finish people. I've never been able to use it in a major competition, but I used it twice today. It can mentally break people and I could tell that he didn't want to try to get off his back when I used it the second time.
care helps kids means program ranked week
It's nice, but it means little. It helps put the program on the map. The kids sense we're accomplishing something. But every week we have to take care of business, or we won't be ranked for long.
