We have alot of great outside shooters, to bad all of our games are inside.
If you say you can’t, then you can’t, if you say you can, then you sure can..
Rebounds can win games, who cares if you get bruised. It will only hurt for a second, and you have a new battle wound to show off.
Winning is an attitide.
Do your best, let God do the rest.
Give 110%,, 100% of the time.

Chaos leads to chaos. Control leads to comfort. Comfort leads to confidence. Confidence is nesesary for success.
