Our kids played a whale of a game against the No. 6 team in the nation, and I told them that. But to close out a team like that you've got to finish every play, and we didn't finish on that rebound. It came too far out and to their advantage. It's the bounce of the ball sometimes.
All the other kids in ninth grade were drawing hot rods and cocker spaniels and getting blue ribbons in art class. I was getting rejection slips from the 'Saturday Evening Post.'
We go down to Baton Rouge every year and are excited about going again. If we advance to a regional, this is generally the place that we play. It will be good to put our kids in that type atmosphere. Right now, we are concerned about our performance and improvement.
