Warriors Beat the Wolves

We scored 63 points against the Warriors last night, but we didn't get rolling until too late in the game.  The Warriors were deep and although we broke their press really well we weren't able to reward ourselves and take it to the hoop to score.  There were some really bright spots.  Ryan West found his groove and scored 5 for 7 from the 3 point land.  Parker Laub was back and slashing to the hoop and making things happen.  He looked fully recovered from his Knee surgery.  He was perfect from the foul line.  Logan Platt and Dayce Truman came to play and did really well.  The Prisbrey bros. came in and jump started everyone and got us on the board. (It's fun to see them play together) Logan was perfect from the foul line as well.  The Warriors scored 12 treys in the game. 

There are many good take away's  from this game.  We really appreciate the fan support!  We only have 5 home games this year.  So you all are awesome. 

Remember we have great new t shirts sponsored by Enterprise Valley Physical Therapy and Pharmacy. Make sure you get one for Christmas!  I need to get pictures so you all can see them.  Also, we have those cozy sweat shirts from David Hall and Associates.   We have some great deals on past gear as well, so check it out.  Contact Leah Laub for more info.

We sure want to wish everyone a very meaningful Christmas.

Pearl Harbor, PIneview Panthers Pre season Prep, predictions and Perspective

As I sit here this morning to update the blog I am pondering and remembering that today is December 7th. Today marks 70 years since "The Day that Will Live In Infamy" as Pres. Roosevelt phrased it.  My photography partner Jarom Schill took this picture last night of the flag. No one asked him to, he did it on his own.  Which brings me a lot of comfort on a day like today. The kid values the flag and loves his country and he's 12. On a day like today when I reflect and give thanks for all that has been done for me and for all of us to have things as good as they are. I also give thanks for kids like Jarom who even notice the flag and want to take a picture of it.  Ensuring that the next generation remembers "Pearl Harbor" and other pivotal days like it, is the key to the preservation of this great country and to the preservation to all that is dear to us.

On Sunday December 7th 2003 my husband coach Shurtliff helped me to realize a dream.  We were at Pearl Harbor to commemorate the anniversary.  My heart still to this day swells with pride and gratitude to my God and to my countrymen and women for their goodness and sacrifices.  I remember the battleship with all hands on deck and at full attention moving silently through the harbor. I remember watching veterans of our country and Japan standing side by side to honor those who lost their lives on that day. I remember the blues angels flying by at the exact moment the Battleship Arizona was hit.  It was powerful and more than moving. So today I remember with you the things that matter.

I with you give thanks for a great group of young men like our team who are good and are striving each day to be better. Most of all we give thanks for men and women who have gone before and given all to ensure the possibility of the opportunity to strive for education and excellence in anything we choose!

I know the guys are down about the loss last night.  But what I love about them is that they keep things in perspective. They are getting better and better and they will learn and persevere.  

  God Bless the Bands of Brothers throughout the ages that have protected and preserved us. God Bless the Band of Brothers we watched last night. God Bless America and God Bless all of you!

Richfield Preview In the Books!

I like what Captain Parkah said after our second game was done, "We can all take something from this and use what we learned to be better. " Our first game vs. Richfield was really interesting.  In the first half we only had 2 field goals.  We were 12 for 13 from the line and this kept us in the game.  We got ourselves into a 23 point hole.  It was strange like being in the twilight zone. The second have was the bi-polar opposite. Scored more field goals in the first minute of the 2nd half than we did the entire first half!  The guys never gave up and hustled their way to within five.  With 2 minutes left we had five starters on the bench fouled out. The team came out with a 7 point loss.  It was really amazing what the guys did in the 2nd half. What I learned is that if the guys had come out from the get go and played like they did in the second half, we'd have beet them by 20.  Our free throw shooting was great.

I was really proud of how these boys battled and never gave up. I think most teams of lesser character would have.

Our game against the defending State Champs, South Sevier Rams, was tough.  We did really well defending them.  We actually led in the first quarter and kept them under 10 points the first quarter.  Unheard of for South Sevier.  Our struggle was we could not get our shot's to fall.  The guys worked hard and again never quit. We really frustrated them defensively and at one point their coach was called for a technical. 

The guys are great! I agree with Marv Hall, we always have the toughest 2A pre-season in the state and this is the time to learn and get better and be ready for season and post season play. I liked what I heard the team commit to after the games to become better.

p.s. Check out our guest Photographer Jarom Schill during the South Sevier game below.  He did really great. I'm thinking of making him a regular Photog!
