When people look back at this season, they’re going to see numbers. Wins. Losses. Stats. A record that doesn’t look the way we wanted it to look. But what they won’t see, what doesn’t show up on a scoreboard is who you became. People don’t see the early mornings when nobody feels like getting out of bed.
They won’t see the extra sprints, when practice should’ve already been over.
They won’t see the way you kept showing up for each other after tough losses.
And that’s what WE are proud of as a coaching staff and HERD Basketball program.
Some of you improved in ways nobody outside this gym will ever understand. Some of you stepped into roles you weren’t comfortable with. Some of you kept your head up when it would’ve been easy to drop it.
Remember your core values, you will need them because the world will test you all the time.
We are proud of you guys and what the future holds for each of you.
Thanks for all the good memories like the long bus trips, finding a way to get to the Championship at Graham tournament for the 5th year in a row, hanging out at the hotels and talking about our four H’s, and especially our talks about our core values that we are building in each of us
