No school Wednesday, Voluntary Practice @ 12:00

Hi Girls,

Had fun at practice Tuesday. getting a chance to work with some of you individually I can see lots of progress in your games. A little extra time in the Gym could be the difference in some close wins.

We do not go to school Wednesday(edited to say we do not go to school as announced) I will hold another VOLUNTARY Practice 12:00 to 2:00pm. VOLUNTARY means you do not have to come if the roads are not good enough for your parents to travel on or FOR you to travel on.

Hwy 158 from my house to Wendy's is clear basically, from Wendy's to the Patrol station is clean, from the Patrol station to school there is one bad spot just before the power substation in the curve at Matthew Parrish's house. Coming from 903, Hwy 903 is clean, the worse road is Three Bridges Road coming in from 903. There are lots of bad spots on that road. I would suggest to plan to miss going that direction if possible. If not possible go very slow and do not be fooled by the dry pavement, there are icy spots that come up on you quick.

I feel it is very likely that we will go back to school on Thursday(my GUESS is a 2 hr delay) and we will travel to Kerr Vance to play KVA assuming they are back in school. I hope that some of you girls that can safely get to school for practice, will make an effort to get there, since those of you that have not come to voluntary practice any this week probably have not touched a basketball since last Friday.

We have 5 games starting Thursday in 8 days. If you play basketball this should be what you play for. We have worked on a couple of new wrinkles for KVA and RMA in practice that we could use.

I have checked around the internet and these are some of the things we know about the EPIC JV Girls Basketball Standings. We are 3 and 2, we have lost by 1 and 2 pts in the last seconds. Parrott has beaten us by 1 and has beaten St. Davids by 1 and Rocky Mount by 15 or so and they say they beat Cary Christian. We do not know what they have done vs. KVA. St. Davids has lost 2 that we know of, us and APA. Cary Christian has lost once that we know of. RMA has not won in the conference it appears. Their website says they have lost 4 games in the conference. If I had to guess I would say APA is most likely undefeated at 5 and 0, CCS could be 4 and 1 but this is possibly not accurate , HA is 3 and 2, St. Davids is maybe 2 and 3 and KVA is probably around 2 and 3 but all we know is they beat RMA and lost to us. RMA is 0 and 4 for sure and maybe 0-5. But all this is guess work based on our record and a few scores I could find off the internet sites.

I do not think APA will go undefeated the second half of the season. They simply rely too much on one girl #3 Madison Mauck, someone else will beat them and I think we will beat them. CCS could lose to anyone with maybe the exception of RMA, just not very likely although anything is possible, we need to go to Cary and win Tuesday. St Davids could have lost to CCS when they played already or of course they could have upset CCS.

Bottom line is if we win out we will most likely either be outright Champions or tie for the Regular Season Championship. We just have to control the things we can control and that is ourselves. It is time to play our very best basketball starting now.
