EHS Vs. Virgin Valley, End of pre-season play

I am so very proud of our guys! Our team moved the ball better than I have ever seen, they limited turnover's and we got the shot's we wanted. We needed a few more to fall and we needed to be better at the line. Except for that it would have been a much closer game. Defensively they were much better and more consistant. It was wonderfully obvious that these boys have worked hard and that they are getting better every time they play. We were out Parker Laub with a sprained ankle. Morgun and Logan took some hits on the floor.
I feel really good about how far we have come during this pre season and look forward to the beginning of our season this week. No 2A team has had a tougher schedule than these guys. I
am really proud of how mentally and emotionally tough they have been and are. They have taken from each game what they need to do to improve and they have gone to work. I told them after this game I wanted to kiss each and everyone of them on the forehead I am so proud of them. They have lost to some very good teams and it isn't easy to take the lumps. These men have stayed positive and true. They have hearts of gold and steel all at the same time. These guys have faced huge hurdles and have not allowed discouragement to dampen their resolve to keep persevering to be better, to pay the price to improve. It really is about the journey in anything in life. This team is the strongest we have had in so many ways. Here is to a great regular season! I love our team!

Brett Schill gets the jump.


Ryan West takes it to the hoop in style
I think that is Brett
Wesley Twitchell up for a bank in. Wesley was fantastic. He was strong defensively and offensively. I would love to see him take it strong to the hoop more often.


Morgun at the line. Morgun took care of the ball He was thrown to the floor hard tonight. I could hear his head hit the floor clear across the gym! He is tough.
Lacey Drake from the free throw line.
Lacey Drake drew out for our half-time Pizza Factory shoot out. 1dollar get you a chance to shoot for a 100 dollar gift certificate to Pizza Factory. All you have to do is make a lay up, a free throw and a 3 pt shot in 20 seconds or less. Come put in this Wednesday in our opener vs. the Beavah, Beavahs!
Brett for a jumper
Jason Farnsworth at the line. These younger varsity players are getting better and better.
Logan's Lump!
