And soon it begins....the 2006-07 season

This pic I took the other day reminded me of how busy my life is about to get in a couple weeks. Basketball season is starting up at the end of October until the end of March...crazy, but I love it. I hope to be updating as the season & school year continues. We've got a good core group of guys from last year, and we even added a little depth as well with a couple new students. I'm excited truly to see what God is going to do through them not only athletically, but in refining their character as men. They have great potential and an earnest desire to play which is good, but they lack that killer instinct at times in finishing strong. Coach is instituting a sheet for parents & athletes to sign that would keep them accountable for things such as showing respect to coaches and officials, showing up on time, dressing well, not commenting on lack of playing time, etc. An awesome idea, and one I wish we would have had last year because it would have curbed some headaches. So, as we look at this new basketball season 2006-2007, as I draw up plans for our full-court & 3/4 court presses...I remember those nice long afternoons at home like today which I will not see for about 5 months and gladly part with them.
