Message: [QUOTE="Earls & Kings, post: 2011955, member: 7364"] Some times I wonder how far out of the loop I am... I don't comprehend why any one here would want to demean the enormity of this win. Our guys aren't Spartan warriors trained to defy death in order to achieve victory. They are SIX kids, including two freshmen , who keep taking on teams with twice as many players, with the the clear understanding that Refs with quick whistles can blow up their game plan in a couple of minutes. ...and that if they have a bad game they take their brothers down with them. If they screw up, there is no where to hide while a fresh team mate takes up the slack, they must suck it up... and not screw up the next chance. They have to defend effectively and consistently,without fouling, when they are warn down. Every action is so much more critical than it is for the opponents because THERE IS NO MARGIN FOR ERROR. These guys should be shaking in their boots with all they have going against them...yet they compete. This may be a lost season for some of us, it clearly isn't what I expected, but look at what we are witnessing. Think of yourself in your late teens or early twenties and how you would have reacted to the lights, action, and outrageous odds of failure. Then consider the growth and character we are seeing in our guys....and thr effort and commitment of our coaches. I love winning too, but let's not miss how special this season has become. Fire away.
