five healthy kept lost memorable pack people point program run season section straight together wins
At one point in the season we lost five straight games. I think at that point most people in the section thought we were done. We didn't pack it in.

armor definitely districts games high hope kids remember school simple though
In districts it's going to come down to defense, it's as simple as that. We definitely have some chinks in our armor that we have to get fixed, but you have to remember that even though we're 17 games into the season, these are still high school kids and we still have to coach. You just hope they get it soon.
