8-2 Bounce-back Win vs. Allegan...
Gentlemen,
Overall job well done in "taking care of business" yesterday vs. a regional rival. And better yet, you partially accomplished one of our team goals!! Bonus. Now it's time to build on that. I really think that this team is on the verge of "good" with the potential to be "great". BUT as I heard a guy I really respect (Gregg Stoel) state today, "the #1 enemy of GREAT...is GOOD". In other words, let's keep moving forward and not simply be satisfied with "good"!
And remember: PHYSICALLY TOUGH at all times (our theme of the week...will vote tomorrow for an alternating team captain).

4-1 Opening Game Loss vs. Grandville
Guys,
Really thought we played mostly solidly all game long today...just couldn't bury the chances we should have at times. Combine that with a couple defensive breakdowns that they capitalized on and bang, there ya go. Again though, the beauty is that we bounce back tomorrow vs. regional rival Allegan!
Overall, please remember: "student" before "athlete", character, hard work, mental/physical toughness (add "communication")...at all times....EVERY member of the team!
See you guys soon...
PS. Check out "game recaps" and "roster" links to the left if/when you get the chance.
