Basketball

Carl Albert Tournament - disappointing first round loss, but overall good things. Beating Edmond North was a good battle for us, and then beating Del City, a ranked team, was VERY good for us.

Muskogee - horrible team, good win for us again.

Jenks - we gave up 13 offensive boards, resulting in 10 points. Nice work. Some of the same players are not blocking out over and over again. I will be addressing this Monday, count on it. Another alarming stat - we were 8 out of 28 in 2-point range in the first half. Sickening. Worse than that? 6 out of 25 from within SIX FEET! Girls, all you have to do to win is put the ball in the hole! And, of course, play the defense that got us here! BLOCK OUT, PUT THE BALL IN THE HOLE, AND D-UP!

See you Monday at 2:15.

Caris Update

Translating for Caris:
I am doing better now, my eyes have cleared up. I think there might be something growing in my mouth that is giving me the whines. That's what Dad calls them, anyway. He says no one likes a whiny baby. Bye for now.

Carl Albert Tournament

Well, we did not bring our A or even our B game today. We get beat by 2, the stats say we've only payed a half-game (19 rebounds to 18), and now we need a sense of direction.

No one stepped up, shots were not even taken, regression was experienced.

At 9:45 pm, Danielle and Chelsea Helm called a team meeting. I don't know what was talked about, but I think it was about what roles the players have. I hope it went well, and I hope everyone knows their role and why things happen.

We all knew the winning streak would end, but now we can start another one.

More tomorrow after we put the whoopin on Edmond North.

Lady Redskins Update

Well, the JV goes to Skiatook today to start that tournament. We have Kelley today, so we'll just see what happens.

The varsity goes to BA tomorrow night. We should roast their chestnuts.

Next week is a big one - three home games including Saturday vs. Lawton. We have no idea how good they are, so we just have to play our best.

Injury Update

Kendra is still out with her back problems.

Stefanie has been out 3 days due to the nastiest thing to crawl into anyone's throat. She says the doctor reports stones in her tonsils. She may or may not suit up for the Skiatook Tournament, but will have to have a tonsilectomy soon.

Caris Update

Caris is now sitting up on her own!!! She accomplished this over the Christmas Break, but really excelled at home. She has been quite sick with a stuffy nose lately, so good hard sleep has been rare.

We are starting to let her cry herself to sleep now. It's hard on mom, but she's bearing through it.
