We get our first win vs. Verrington Nevada!

Sorry I have been here and there and everywhere and I am just getting the post up! For this blog I am focusing on our first win! We played Verrington last Saturday night as a closer in a three game tournament in Mesquite. We had quite a few sick guys, but other guys stepped up and we played as a team. It was fun and felt really good. Wesley Twitchell shut down their offensive 'guy'and pulled down 11 rebounds. Dayce Truman scored 26 pt. thanks to some really nice away from the ball work by Parker, Morgun and Ryan. Brett pulled down 9 rebounds before he fouled out in the 3rd. He was a scoring threat as well. Josh is becoming a threat in the paint when he takes it to the hole. It was renewing to see the guys get results from their hard work. There is still much to do and work on. These guys will get er done!

Last night we had some break downs in Moapa. We broke their press 8 times right in a row and then couldn't finish with some scoring. We have got to reward ourselves for our hard work!
We will focus on the positive and get back to work!
We love our guys!



Had to jump the ball twice for which I was grateful because I wasn't quite ready for the first tip off!
Morgun for three. He iced the game with his free throws as well.

Pineview @ EHS First Home Game


We played Pineview for our first home game last night. Prior to the game there was an awesome tribute to 100 years of scouting. In the program nearly 270 men we listed as eagle scouts from the Enterprise valley. I think this is phenomenal. What an incredible legacy from this community.
Paula West sang the National Anthem as scouts walked on to the floor with a giant flag. She was spectacular! All of the Eagle Scouts present were asked to stand. It was a great way to begin the evening.
As far as the game, again, we had some very good moments. Our boys battled. Pine View is a good team. Coach Shurtliff told the guys they should tip their hats, learn what we need to learn and go forward. I was pleased with the attitude of our men after the game as the 'take aways' were discussed.
Can we gain confidence from these losses? A good question. I believe yes. Enterprise basketball is learning to work the best as a team. The more these guys come together as a team the better they will be. Coach Shurtliff often says 'Excuses never change performance.' There is no use in excuse mentality. The only answer is to identify what must be improved for better performance in the future. That requires individual adjustments as well as team adjustments. Mental strength and increased commitment.
I know this, I love my boys! They are the best. The experience they are gaining now will stead them well not only for this season and post season but many seasons of life. I am thankful for what they teach me and the class act they are.

ps I downloaded a little video of a portion of the National Anthem prior to the game. It looks like its at the end of this post. I hope it works!



Brett for the tip off!

Parkah Laub from the baseline.
OK. This was a highlight of the game so a devoted most of the blog pictures to this next series of Brett Schills steal and what happened. It was fun.

Number 12 comes in and whoa... jumps over the top of Brett.
Brett maintains control, gives the guy a piggy back ride for a second.
Gathers himself....
and goes up for two.

He gets fouled here. But if I remember correctly no call....
Way to go Brett! Loved it....

Jade a way cool hat.

EHS vs Hurricane

On a good road vs the Tigers last night.
All our teams made improvements in their play this week. There is no question our guys have the toughest pre-season schedule of any 2A squad. This by design. We play the best teams to become the best we can be. As usual, but not to be taken for granted, our boys strive to leave it all out there. Hurricane was big, long and lanky and we are learning how important position, spacing and timing is. It is not enough to get in front of a guy for the rebound we have to get our rear ends into them and make them foul us in order to get a rebound. We have to become more precise and disciplined in how we are away from the ball to set us up for success in putting the ball in the hoop. I am excited for this team. I see our players recognizing what they can do and starting to implement. They always give their hearts, now I am seeing their minds getting there.
We have the best support too. We love seeing the great group from Enterprise come to encourage and cheer us on. Thanks. M. Stacie
