Warriors Looking Good!!

   Hi everyone, well the season has begun and we are off to a very good start.  The guys are picking up on stuff quickly and we are making good progress everyday.

   One thing I think many people forget is how important that team chemistry has to be on the court to be successful.  Each year is a new team so it takes time for everyone to get used to playing with each other, know each others strengths and weaknesses.  With this team while we do have a lot of returning players we also have four new players so getting them all on the same page will take time.  You can see progress being made everyday as we are showing more trust in our teammates on the defensive end and offensively we are learning to work together to get a great shot each time down the floor.  One item that has really improved in a week is the passing on the offensive end.  The first couple of days we saw a ton of turnovers but the guys have slowed down and they are getting used to playing with each other.  A key for this team, as with all of our team in the past, we want to take care of the ball and limit turnovers.

    This past weekend we had our first purple/white scrimmage along with our annual family day.  It was a great day all around as our scrimmage went as well, Coach Browns team won 3-1 over Coach Gove, but Coach Gove team lost by a total of 3 points in those 3 losses.  In each session the guys were put onto different teams so many different combinations were out on the floor, which gave us a ton of looks of different line ups we could have this season.  A team strength for this year will be our depth, we do not have one guy that we would not be afraid to put on the floor.  After the scrimmage the team and parents meet down at Bub's Brewing Co. for the annual lunch.  It was a excellent time as it was an opportunity to see many old faces along with many new faces.  Every had a great time and each player did a good job of introducing themselves along with the family that was in attendance.  

    Looking forward we are closing in on that first exhibition game of the year which will take place November 2nd versus La Crosse.  We still have a ton of work ahead of us but we will have a couple more team scrimmages to get ready for the game and we will really start to focus on items we need to clean up on both ends of the floor.  The guys are working hard and excitement is in the air as we cannot wait to get out on the floor for the first game of the season.  

    This is it for now, until next time.....GO WARRIORS!!!
