At a great time, we went over to Valley and played a really good game against them and turned it around.
And in the last 11 games in the regular season, we went nine and two.
And then even so, we were seeded a 13 seed out of 14 in the playoffs.
And we went to Mount Horrib and beat them in the first round.
And it's been really, really great to see those
that group of boys take step in the right direction.
It's all about adversity.
One of the messages that I had, and this is what we strive to do in the district, is to get them career and college ready.
And one of the messages, you know, after, you know, halfway through this kind of turnaround was just overcoming this adversity that we faced.
And they had the opportunity to just lay down.
And like, this is it.
This, this stinks.
This is a rough season.
We'll try again next year.
Um, but they didn't, they put the pedal to the metal and turned around and really grinded it out.
And, um, that, that same aspect of, of overcoming adversity is going to be needed in every aspect of life.
