Hi Bill,

Good evening! The ups and downs of our season are readily apparent from last night's easy 12 point win against an OK but undersized New Harvest Christian to tonight's rough and tough replay game against big, crosstown Waverly. While they weren't as good as Calvary Baptist, we were still blown out by 20+. Too many turnovers and easy buckets for the Ravens.

The teams coming with good pressure defense separate themselves from our squad. We've been beating the teams we are supposed to beat, but it would be sweet to steal one from a tough team this year.

That said, I am delighted that we have managed five wins. Didn't expect that many. I'm happy yet disappointed that we coaches haven't been able to teach everything the kids need to beat the upper tier squads. We have been beating the lesser teams mostly with physical play and size. I'll give us some time to do this. It's our first go at it, after all!!

But I am absolutely thrilled about the games the two SWA teams will be playing together, if the plan does indeed come to fruition. Will be praying for your safe, eventful arrival!

Good luck against Rimrock tomorrow, Coach! Gene also is a bit dinged-up, with a swollen right ankle and needing some time to rest.

Hoosiers is such a great film! Have you seen Hoop Dreams? Also good, but in a heartbreaking way.

Have a good one, Coach!
